Hey guys

Had the CEL come on today and its showing a code 33 (Vehicle speed sensor), Ive had a search of the forum and have got a little confused. Some people say its in the gearbox, some say its on the back of the speedo.

I did change the clocks last week but the code only appeared today. The speedo seems to work, but not right as i have put the needle back in the wrong place! Would this cause the problem? The light is on all the while but its not gone into 'Limp mode' and revs as normal.

Cheers

anyone?

 

just put the old clocks back in and the code is still there. Phoned up subaru and they reckon even thou it is a cable drivin speedo there is still a speed sensor in the gearbox, does anyone know where this is and how much it is?

 

Fixed it!!!! I missed 1 small screw out of the speedo head when i installed it, its obviously a contact for the speed sensor!

So if anyone has a MY96 STi import and is looking for the Vehicle Speed Sensor 2, its in the speedo head!!!

 

hi iv got same problem but mines in limp mode weres speedo head

and screw you missed

do you have to set set codes after you fix problem and my clcoks also have been changed to sti ones could this also be problem

please reply asap missing the scooby power

cheers mikey

 

Hey mate

The speedo head is the actual speedo, if you take the whole cluster out and have a look round the back, the speedo (one on the right if looking from the back) should have 2 big screws holding it and two smaller screws as well. It was one of the smaller screws that i missed out.

As soon as i had done this the car was fine, but i reset my ECU anyway to be safe (connected black and green connectors under steering column).
