Code P0500, the speedometer stopped working after coil replacement?

Hello, this started happening after replacing an ignition coil? This vehicle looks to have coil over plug ignition coils, correct? Did only replace one coil, or a few coils? And what brand coil did you install and did you replace the spark plug also?

And I assume that none of those IGFI circuit codes came back. Since the speed sensor issue appeared after replacing the coils, I'd be concerned with either one of the coils having an issue with transient voltage spikes on the ground side getting into the counter gear speed sensor or output shaft speed sensor. The signal from those sensors is sent to the combination meter and then transmitted to the ECM. I don't think this has anything to do with the ABS wheel speed sensors, do you have a scope to check for any voltage spikes on the ground side of things? I have seen that happen many times, if any of the ignition coils are arcing outside the cylinder and going directly to ground it will affect the speed sensor signals. This might be the 2nd vehicle today with this issue, but being that you just replaced the coils, they would be the main suspect here. It's usually always the coils that end up with transient spikes in the grounds because they are the highest voltage components on the vehicle.
I'll try to find you a video on this, but if you have access to a scope and can check the grounds on this counter gear speed sensor and or the output shaft speed sensor, you might see some spikes hitting these ground circuits.
The counter gear speed sensor is supposed to be on the front side of the engine, but I think you would see it on the output shaft speed sensor as well. Those type of voltage spikes are pretty big, and I have seen them set output shaft speed sensor codes as well as stall vehicles right out.
I'll try to find a video that shows this, maybe it will help and you won't have to mess around with ABS circuits. These videos are super helpful
Ok this is the video I wanted to show you, just to get an idea of what might be happening. It's about 45 minutes, but you can jump forward, and you'll know what is going on with the vehicle in the video about 7 minutes in.

Thats interesting, technically the code P1730 should set with the counter gear speed sensor unplugged. You didn't notice any trans fluid leaks around the counter gear sensor, did you? There is a TSB on fluid leaks from the counter gear sensor bolt hole. But this Vehicle Speed Sensor Monitor for that code (P0500) states that the vehicle speed signal can be sent in different ways depending on the vehicle model. And I don't know if when the code sets the ECM may disregard that signal due to the fault.
In your scan data do you see a Vehicle speed data PID anywhere? To see if the ECM is receiving a signal from any sensor at all.
The code criteria state the P0500 is set when the ECM is not detecting any vehicle speed signal, and some trouble areas are -Open or Short in Vehicle Speed sensor circuit (Which would cause no signal at all the Cluster or ECM. Thats the path the signal looks to take, From the speed sensor to the Cluster and then to the ECM. So, it could be a bad sensor, open/short circuit, bad Cluster, or ECM. I don't think ECM, I think the signal is just not making it there.
If your scan tool can access the Cluster and check for any live data that would help. But there is also a Flow Chart Ill post here in a minute for you, so you can check the circuits between the ECM, Cluster, but it also states that "The vehicle speed sensor is operating normally if the Speedometer is displaying correctly" which it isn't. And since your Input (Turbine) shaft speed sensor is sending a signal, Id focus on this Counter Gear Speed sensor,
Service info has you replace both of those sensors, but The Input sensor is working.
I'll see if I can find any resistance spec for that counter gear sensor and the wiring diagram for is, but check to see if it has an open circuit inside, just unplug it and do a Ohms check across its 2 pins, If it's an open circuit inside, then you found the issue.

Okay, there is a resistance check at the sensor, 620 Ohms +/- 60. And then if that's okay, you can check for that same resistance spec from the ECM connector which would show if you had a complete circuit. It looks like the Counter Gear Speed sensor does signal directly to the ECM and then out to the Cluster, Service info is a bit shady here. But this should help you out. There might even be a bias voltage at the Counter Gear sensor connector coming from the ECM. Some manufacturers do this to verify the circuit, one diagram showed a 5v Reference from the ECM to the Cluster, but it's not clear for that sensor, but if you read any bias voltage with the sensor unplugged, you can check for that same voltage level coming out of the ECM on the sensors circuit.
You can also check for any shorts to ground by disconnecting the sensor, and ECM connector, then check for any stray voltage or ground on those 2 wires, with them isolated like that there shouldn't be anything at all on them.

Hello, I don't see any waveforms or data in your post. Our system here has a spam filter, so don't include any keyboard symbols, only pictures. As for the testing, what was the resistance of the Counter Gear speed sensor unplugged? You can't have it plugged in when checking the resistance of the sensor itself because it will measure the entire circuit's resistance. It should be around 620 Ohms. The 5volt is a reference voltage from the ECM to the Cluster. We need to know if the Counter Gear sensor is ok first. So, check the resistance of just the sensor unplugged, not with your meter on a voltage setting. The Ohms symbol is the 2nd pic below. The 5volt Reference is good that it is there. That means the circuit from the ECM to the Cluster, that wire is ok.
These speed sensors are a VR type 2 wire sensor, so they produce a very low voltage signal when the vehicle is moving. Other sensors, such as a Hall Effect sensor is a 3 wire more technical type of sensor. It works on a 12volt or 5volt feed and is a digital type on/off signal because there is a transistor built into the sensor.
After you check the resistance of the sensor alone, with the meter set on the Ohms setting and I'm not sure what type of multimeter you have, but here I circled the 2000 Ohm setting because the sensor should be up to 620 Ohms, if you have an auto-range meter then just set it on the Ohms(Resistance) setting and it should auto-range the reading.

After you have the resistance of the sensor, you can measure the resistance from the ECM connector pin 24 (E7-NC+) to sensor harness pin 2. The ECM pin 23 (E7-NC-) to sensor harness pin 1. Key Off, engine Off, both unplugged should show less than 5 ohms on each wire. (Diagram 4)

Okay, then the sensors resistance is correct. Was there any type of dirt or metal sticking to the end of the sensor? This is the 5volts you were reading from the PCM to Cluster.
With the PCM disconnected, check for that same resistance reading across the two ECM connector pins and then disconnect the sensor as well and check each wire for a short to ground with the meter on resistance setting.

That's because it's a VR sensor, it sends a sinewave type signal, just like a 2-wire crankshaft pos sensor. Refresh this page and check my last post, there is an OEM diagram to check those 2 wires for any shorts to ground and to make sure there is a complete circuit from the PCM connector to the sensor and then back to the PCM connector.

You can take an accurate resistance reading on any circuit while it is plugged in, you will end up reading the resistance of the entire circuit. Many components in an automotive harness all basically share the vehicles ground section and many components are fed power by one fuse, so to properly check the resistance of a circuit from one end to the other they need to isolated from anything else, Another thing is that every single connection, even where a fuse makes contact in a fuse box while have a certain amount of resistance to them. Thats why I was suggesting to just test the unplugged ECM connector pins 23 and 24 to see if you get around the same reading of the sensor's resistance. Concentrate on the one circuit that is setting the code for now. We need to know if there is a complete circuit to the sensor and back, and then if either leg of that circuit is shorted to ground anywhere.

I see the circuits you are checking,
but just check for the 620 ohms on those 2 ECM connector pins to the counter gear sensor, then unplug the sensor and check for continuity to ground on each wire separately still with the ECM unplugged. If either wire has a short to ground there wont be any signal making it to the ECM. We have to be sure of this circuit first, Service info varies here on the way this is routed. One section states the CounterGear sensor runs to the Cluster then to the ECM, but this OEM diagram shows it differently. So, check that first.

Well, these are the OEM trouble shooting flow chart for that code. The only thing you didn't check was for voltage on either wire. There's no section on ABS for it, and I've gone through all the service info there is. If this first section of the flow chart is correct, There should be a 5-volt 4 pulse signal from the Cluster going to the ECM, since there is a 5v-Ref coming from the ECM to the Cluster which you had a voltage for, and there is a transistor in the Combo Meter, which makes this a pull down signal circuit, so the Meter pulls the circuit down to ground through its transistor (diagrams 5, 6) producing the square wave 4 pulse signal. Service info doesn'tt state anywhere that it uses the ABS wheel speed sensors for the Speedometer. Unless it compares multiple inputs.

You can check for codes in the ABS unit by using the DLC1 connector method, this is not the Data Link Connector under the dash, it's in the engine compartment, you just jump out two pins on the connector, turn the key On and count how many times the ABS light blinks.
You said you replaced the Input Turbine shaft speed sensor as well?
I don't see any spec on resistance for the wheel speed sensors, Ill post it if I can find it, but you can compare each sensor to the others, they couldn't all fail at once. To read the wheel speed sensors you would need to scan tool that could access the ABS module and look at its live data for each sensor.
