Speedometer is not working properly

My 96 Honda Accord's Speedometer has developed a problem displaying the correct speed while driving. Sometimes it seems to work, and other time it doesn't. When working, the needle correctly displays the driving speed (which I verified in speedometer check areas along the freeway -mile driven/time). When the speedometer isn't working the needle suddenly swings wildly around the panel. I have noticed that this occurs during hard acceleration, but it has occurred during normal driving starts and stops (such as accelerating gently from a traffic light). Recently the needle swung all the way around to the back side of the 0-mph stop and stayed for a time. Later the needle swung back round to start registering a normal speed. The bugginess of the needle also seems to occur at speed below 20 mph and above 70mph.

The odometer and trip meter still seems to be registering mileage properly. Shift points still seem to occur at the correct intervals and fuel consumption is at 23 mpg in city driving. Basically the car seems to be operating well, but the speedometer needle is acting crazy. Any Thoughts?

Hi I washed my engine bay of my honda accord and when I took it for a spin the speedometer doesnt work and there is no odometer reading. Any ideas?

Thankyou I have a feeling its the VSS as well

I have a 1995 Honda Accord and for some reason my speedometer works every once in a while and my odometer doesn't seem to be working as well. Do u have any suggestions on what is causing this problem?

Sounds like the VSS vehicle speed sensor possibly.I have had a few imports that have problems with the dash clusters there are several places on the internet that you can send clusters and have them rebuilt/fixed fairly cheap.

Okay Awesome! Are they pretty easy to install yourself? How roughly how much do they run?

Should be pretty easy its on the tranaxle/transmission should be two small bolts. They are about 25 bucks online not sure in the store. Hope that's what it is be a cheap fix! Good luck.

Transmission problem
1995 Honda Accord 4 cyl

While driving often my car will just stop automatically shifting leaving me to have to get off the road in 1st and 2nd gear only. When this happens, my speedometer stops working also. This happens periodically.

Yes, the D4 light is still blinking. Not sure if the speedometer stopped right before or after. It seemed like it was about the same time. What is a TCM?

Thank you. I will have the speed sensor checked and let you know how my "Guam Bomb" does; hope that will fix the problem.

I have a 95 Honda accord EX with 132000 miles, the speedometer works off and on but when it doesn't work the needle stays at 20mph and doesn't go up or down what can this be?

I had the speed sensor changed and the car is running fine however D4 light is still blinking. Is this still a concern?
