emissions warning light

[Steve_RI]

Well, the list of issues is piling up. Got some work to do in the Spring. My emissions light is on. Ran codes and got back 14 in mode 3 - vehicle speed sensor....my speedo is out right now so no surprise there. Any tips on how to chase this down? I put a new o2 sensor in about 6 months ago.

Emmisions light?

Do you mean the yellow Check Engine light?

I will refer you to the Diagnostic Proceedure starting on EC-88 of the FSM. Sorry, but there is more than I want to type. This is where I would start...

 

Bah, that only applies to the round dash. Why you people have the old models, I'll never know...

If vehicle speed sensor is your only code, the O2 is unrelated. I recommend putting a speedometer cable in it and see if the code goes away.

Sorry, took a vacation day yesterday to take advantage of the snow. Yes, this is the yellow emissions light. I checked my mileage on the trip and I got just under 19mpg. I was afraid that I would get horrible mileage, but that's pretty good. Temps aren't too bad today, so I'll try to get out there and poke around a bit.

I took a look at the FSM and it indicates that the vehicle speed sensor code (under diagnostic procedure 26) will set off that check engine lamp. I ordered a speedo cable, got a pretty good price too, $49 delivered. This should take care of the issue.

Yup, the engine light went out as soon as I got the tires rolling with the new cable.

Nice! Thanks for updating with the fix too.
