Just purchased my beautiful green 2000 CR-V SE. As an ASE-Qualified
mechanic and Mechanical/Electrical engineer I have posted responses
to many other boards over the years. I have owned over a half dozen
hondas in the past few years, loved them all, and I do most of my
own modifications and maintenance. The more I learn about the car,
the more I will be able to help fellow CR-Vers in the future.
This is my question today-
I own an Alpine vehicle navigation system, a wonderful little device
that you hard-wire into your vehicle that offers you maps, global
tracking, and turn-by-turn directions. I removed it from my old car,
a 90 Civic 4wd wagon last week. The wiring is mostly straightforward
(acc, power, ground, illumination, etc). There are also some other
wires that have to be connected (brake light, reverse light, parking
brake which I should be able to find with a little hunting with a
test light, no problem. The one wire I need to find, which will be
difficult without the factory wiring diagram (I'll get the factory
manual in a few weeks, I am broke now) is the Vehicle Speed Sensor,
which should be a line coming out of the vehicle computer (used by
the computer for transmission shifting, cruise control, and emission
control devices etc). can anyone tell me with relative certainty
which wire it is? alternately, is there another location where I can
pick up this signal in the vehicle (ie under the dashboard)?
well, thanks in advance. nice to meet you all!

I haven’t seen anybody answer this,
sorry if I did miss the answer. In my manual, the electrical connections for
the ’98-00 model years show the Vehicle Speed Sensor on terminal C23 of
the CR-V computer. This is part of the 31P ECM/PCM connector. The wire colour
is blue with white trace (BLU/WHT) Notes: With ignition switch ON (II) and
front wheels rotating: cycles 0V – about 5V or battery voltage.

 

I hope this helps

just the ticket, thanks!
