vss= vehicle speed sensor. try the wheel.. id say there is nothing wrong with the sensor itself.. try the wiring
It depends on which version of Prelude (there were five generations) you are referring to.
The speed sensor on a 1997 Honda Prelude operates by generating an electrical signal based on the rotational speed of the vehicle's transmission output shaft. It typically uses a magnetic or Hall-effect sensor to detect the movement of a toothed wheel attached to the shaft. As the vehicle moves, the sensor sends pulses to the engine control unit (ECU), which processes the information to calculate the vehicle's speed and relays it to the speedometer and other systems. This feedback helps in optimizing engine performance and ensuring accurate speed readings.
I am in the process of replacing the speed sensor in my 90 prelude. It is located on the transmission. with a small cable with a plug on the end of it. Looking at it from the passenger side . you can see a picture of it on eBay.. just type in 1990 Honda speed sensor.. there are several...

The VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) moniters the speed of the vehicle.
In a 1993 Honda Prelude, a blinking D4 light typically indicates a transmission issue, often related to the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) or the Transmission Control Module (TCM). The VSS monitors the speed of the vehicle and sends this information to the TCM, which can cause shifting problems if faulty. It's advisable to check these components and their connections, as well as perform a diagnostic scan for any trouble codes to pinpoint the exact issue.

To replace the speed sensor on a 1990 Honda Prelude, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety. Locate the speed sensor, which is typically mounted on the transmission; remove the electrical connector and the retaining bolt. Pull out the old sensor, then insert the new one, securing it with the bolt and reconnecting the electrical connector. Finally, reconnect the battery terminal and test the sensor to ensure proper function.
To fix the speedometer on a 1989 Honda Prelude, first check the vehicle's speed sensor and wiring for any damage or disconnection. If the sensor is functioning properly, inspect the speedometer cable for wear or breaks. If needed, replace the cable or sensor, ensuring all connections are secure. Lastly, if the speedometer still doesn’t work, consider checking the instrument cluster for issues or consult a professional mechanic.
in park my 94 honda prelude 2.3 idles at 4000 rpm what can i do to slow down the idle ? <><><><> Idle speed is controlled by the computer, and is not adjustable. You have a problem with the computer or a sensor. Take it to a shop.
I have a 1990 prelude that is in the dealership as I write this to have the speed sensor replaced. I have just been told that it is on the transmition. It is a sensor.
