S Indicator Blinking

What does the S mean on the dash when it's blinking?

My 91 Honda Accord has never been modified, it has 67k miles on it. So I don't really think its the engine or something.

I just want to know what the S indicator means when it's blinking. What does the S stand for?

Thanks for your time

This has been covered on this site many times. The S button when depressed changes the shift pattern by keeping it in a lower gear for a longer time. A flashing S light can mean a bad speed sensor which is the thing that drives the speedometer and also affects the cruise control. Or it could mean a Transmission control module problem. Do you have any other changes in the way the car operates?

I notice a bit of slippage, when I try to accelerate. It feels like no matter how i step on the gas, it doesn't accelerate as fast. But that's only on the first gear (i think, cause its an automatic Trans)

Is your speedometer working properly, how about cruise control?

Cruise Control was kind of not working... Although the S symbol has stopped blinking....

Sounds like a bad speed sensor pulser. It is a sensor mounted to the transmission on the fire wall passenger side. Your speedometer will probably stop working soon.

alright! Thanks a lot... i'll have it looked at by a mechanic....

any idea what the price range is for having it replaced? (can i replace it myself?) How much is a sensor for a 91 accord?

Don' t know your mechanical ability but it is held in with two screws. Do a search on this web site for speed sensor and one post will refer you to a another site with detailed instructions and pictures.

Speed sensor about $75. plus 1 hour labor at the dealer.
