Where is the speed sensor in 94 Prizm?
I have a 94 Geo Prizm, 103k mileage. My speedometer stopped working a few months ago, it kicks in when I'm driving fast on the interstate. Today I was driving on the interstate and the speedo kicked in, then the check engine light came on and then off, the speedo went back to 0. After reading some messages, I think it might be the vehicle speed sensor.
Can anyone tell me where this is located on my car? Do I need to get this fixed? It doesn't bother me that my speedo doesn't work. What's the cheapest way to fix it? Thanks in advance for any replies. |

The part is on the top of the transmission and is easily reached. The part is very expensive from the dealer, try a junkyard. Replace the part when the car is cool. Get a cheap manual.

Re: Where is the speed sensor in 94 Prizm?
Thank you so much for your reply. Yes, I found out it's an expensive part - $265 and that's just from a parts store. I'm looking for salvage yards.
Do you know if this needs to get fixed ASAP? Will I damage my transmission? |

You will not ruin the transmission. I bought one from the junk yard for 15$.

Speed sensor in 94 Prizm?
Would the odometer & trip odometer continue to function if the speed sensor is defective? I just hit 144k & the speedometer only kicks in at hiway speeds & is not accurate, but the odometer is fine...
Thanks! Charlotte |
