Hi, I have this dtc code P0500 problem, it tell me that's a vehicle speed sensor, but do you were is located? to see if it is a wire loose or the sensor, thanks for your help.

Vehicle Speed Signal
The vehicle speed signal is generated by the rear anti-lock brake sensor and sent to the 4-wheel anti-lock brake system (4WABS) module. The 4WABS module sends the vehicle speed signal via circuit 679 (GY/BK) to all systems which require a vehicle speed signal input.
Speedometer
The electronic speedometer receives a speed signal from the 4WABS module.

Take your vehicle an have it diagnosed , before you buy parts you don't need . Just a suggestion , could be a wiring problem , the speedometer gauge , computer etc...

Hi there:
DTC P0500 - Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction
Basically this means that the vehicle's speed as read by the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is not working properly.

Symptoms of a P0500 DTC may include:
loss of anti-lock brakes
the "anti-lock" or "brake" warning lamps on the dash may be lit
the speedometer or odometer may not work properly (or at all)
your vehicle's RPM limiter may be decreased
the shifting of an automatic transmission may become erratic
other symptoms may also be present

A code P0500 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is not reading (functioning) properly
There is a broken/frayed wire leading to the vehicle speed sensor
The vehicle's PCM is not correctly configured for the actual tire size on the vehicle

Possible Solutions:
The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.
Next, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the speed sensor. The location of the sensor depends on your vehicle. The sensor could be on the rear axle, transmission, or perhaps the wheel hub (brake) assembly.
If the wiring and connectors are OK, then check the voltage at the speed sensor. Again, the exact procedure wil depend on your make and model of vehicle.
If everything looks OK, replace the sensor.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day

DTC P0500 - Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction
This fault code mean that the vehicle's speed as read by the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is not working properly. A code P0500 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

U1120 means the PCM doesn't receive a vehicle speed signal from the Anti-lock brake Module over the CAN C bus. This can be caused by the ABS module, PCM or something wrong with the can bus. This might be just an erroneous code and may never set again

Code P0501 Vehicle Speed Sensor Range/Performance
What does that mean? Basically this means that the vehicle's speed as read by the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is not working properly.
Potential Symptoms This code is different from the P0500 code in the fact that it may not trigger the malfunction indicator light (MIL). Potential symptoms are basically the same as the P0500 VSS code:

• loss of anti-lock brakes
• the "anti-lock" or "brake" warning lamps on the dash may be lit
• the speedometer or odometer may not work properly (or at all)
• your vehicle's RPM limiter may be decreased
• the shifting of an automatic transmission may become erratic
• other symptoms may also be present

Causes A P0501 DTC trouble code may be caused by one or more of the following:

• The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is not reading (functioning) properly
• There is a broken/frayed wire leading to the vehicle speed sensor
• The vehicle's PCM is not correctly configured for the actual tire size on the vehicle

Possible Solutions The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.
Next, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the speed sensor. The location of the sensor depends on your vehicle. The sensor could be on the rear axle, transmission, or perhaps the wheel hub (brake) assembly.
If the wiring and connectors are OK, then check the voltage at the speed sensor. Again, the exact procedure will depend on your make and model of vehicle.
If everything looks OK, replace the sensor.
