    Vehicle speed sensor

    I just replacled the vehicle speed sensor on my 90 accord, it was relitively easy i was just wondering if anyone knew why the actuall gear also runs a small pump that has power steering fluid going through it? Oh i picked up a sensor for $9 bucks off a wrecker and it works great so if anyone has the same problem i dont suggest going with a new one since their like 100-200 bucks.

      to lubricate the gears inside the VSS housing .. since it doesn't get the tranny fluid it just runs off the power steering fluid..

          Actually from my understanding is that the lines go to the power steering because its a speed sensitive power steering. As your speed increases the power of the power steering decreases.

          Preludes, and 5th gen accords do not have the same design for the VSS. But they all work the same way.

            I took my car to my mechanic about 2 weeks ago and had my speed sensor replaced i think on the receipt he charged me 35 bucks installed.

              Correct. Though I haven't heard for sure if it shortens the VSS life if the lines aren't hooked up. Many think its also needs the lubrication.

                The thing is, All the 5th gen accords don't have the PS lines running to them. Its just the gear portion and the sensor portion and they work fine. The VSS does get lubricated. If you ever pulled one out of the transmission soon after being ran you will see the oil on the main gear and I believe there are some holes on the bottom that allows tranny oil to travel up the shaft.

                  That does make more sense. And also another good reason to change the tranny fluid regularly.
