Countershaft Sensor: Service and Repair

NOTE: The following paragraph is an excerpt from Honda Service News, Dated November 2001

The '00-01 Odyssey with the navigation system has a differential driven vehicle speed pulse (VSP) sensor. Its signal is used to calculate vehicle speed for the climate control system and the navigation system. The '99 Odyssey, the '00-01 Odyssey without the navigation system, and the '98-02 Accord V6 use a vehicle speed signal that the FCM/PCM calculates from countershaft speed. This signal is shared by all systems that need a vehicle speed input.
