Google your codes & read up on the issues

Type: OBD & your codes

Codes do not indicate the need to replace parts

All parts have to be component tested,thus a repair
shop will be needed

SOURCE: 2005 ToyotaCamry fault code P0500 Vehicle Speed sensor Malfuction

They are not the sensors you want. The car uses the abs wheel sensors for vehicle speed. Your problem lies in the abs system , possibly the left front sensor, abs ecu or speedo cluster, Clear the code and see if it stay out otherwise you'll need to go to a trusted technician. .

SOURCE: engine code p1540

Make sure the solenoids are ohming correct. If they are try looking at all the vacuum hoses that lead to them. It could be just a hose that's not connected or a leak somewhere. I have the same problem and that's what I was told. My solenoids are fine so I have to check all hoses and t's. Theres a diagram on the underside of your hood on the drivers side.

A P0500 code is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) titled "Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) Malfunction." This code is triggered when the vehicle's Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Engine Control Module (ECM) detects inaccurate speed readings or lack of a signal from the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS).

What does BMW 528i code p0500 senor A means?

The P0500 code indicates a problems with the ABS system. If you have recently replaced wheel sensors, it sounds like one or more may be disconnected or flaky.

From datsc.com:
What does this mean? OBD Code P0500refers to
Basically this means that the vehicle's speed as read by the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is not working properly.
Symptoms Possible sumptoms of OBD code P0500
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 Possible causes of OBD code P0500
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 will depend on your make and model of vehicle. If everything looks OK, replace the sensor.

1998 subaru forester, engine code p1450 what needs to be repaired?

Your code is for a fault in the EVAP purge sloenoid system.

The smoke and moisture out the tail pipe is normal. The purge solenoid may be stuck open causing fuel vapors to enter the engine on cold start. This will give you a rich fuel smell. The engine normally runs rich on cold start up.

The EVAP purge solenoid is a common failure. Here is a diagnosis pinpoint test to perform on the EVAP system for your fault code. The first thing would be replace the gas cap, or a possible defective Evaporative Emission Canister Vent Solenoid, ( Click Here for Instructions ) if problem persists you will need a good smoke machine to properly diagnose.

Hope this helps.
