No CEL light, but checked anyway and got P0500, Vehicle speed sensor malfunction( my speedometer works), Is there any negative effect with driving like this still? I looked in the Haynes and said it can affect driveability, and tranny shifts, etc.

 

Was it a pending code or a set code?

Does it drive fine?

 

Shifts sometimes feel a little off(oh its automatic), like I have to give it a little more gas too. My mileage went down a little also(dont know if thats related). COme to think of it I totally forgot to check if it was pending or set, and i already erased it... If my memory serves me right I think Pending. All the I/M monitors ran too the only one that flashed was the EV, Evaporative system monitor.

 

that is the code that you get when you cut the speed limiter wire going to the ecu. has it always been there???

 

Don't have a speed limiter on mine. I just noticed it two days ago, just decided to plug it in even though there was no CEL.
