speedometer problems= check engine light???

[addict_cb7]

i have a speedometer problem and i know i need to get a new electronic reader for it but along with that. my check engine light comes on as well. but like 5-10 mins after startup and whenever i stop it comes on but that may be because my steering wheel shakes when i come to a stop. any idea on what the matter is?

For your speedo its the VSS.

For your steering wheel shake , it's probably your brake rotors.

For your CEL porbably a ground problem? Coz it goes on when you brake?

I can barely understand what you're saying...

I have no clue what you mean for the spedometer. Do you need a new Vehicle Speed Sensor?

If the Check Engine Light comes on, you need to jump the service connector under the dash to get a code. With the car off find the blue plug under the dash on the passenger side. Use a plain metal paperclip (nothing with a plastic coating), infolded to make a U shape, to "jump" the connector. Basically, stick each end of the paperclip into a hole. Then turn the key to the "on" position, right before the engine start. Now watch the Check Engine Light (CEL). It should start to flash a code. Long flashes are 10s, short flashes are 1s, and long pauses are breaks. Write down the codes until they begin to repeat. There is a list of CEL codes available on here once you know what it's saying.

The shaking when you come to a stop means that your rotors are warped. They may be able to be fixed, but a replacement is likely needed. This has nothing to do with your check engine light.

CEL could be VSS

i appreciate it. my friend told me that it may be warped rotors but i didnt take her word for it because she said she never owned a vehicle that shook at the steering wheel. once again thanks and have a good rest of yalls day.
