Error is P0500 – Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction and we have changed the speed sensor but still the same error states

Becomes very light and accelerator high when I start driving after switching it on, also the odometer does not read for few seconds. After few seconds the check engine light turns on, accelerator becomes normal and odometer starts reading.

Hi Rasmataz,

We checked the VSS wiring and is OK but still can't find the problem.

Hope to hear from you soon.
