Not working
You need a new speed sensor located on the gearbox with 2 size ten bolts holding it on and a 3 pin connection going into it! heres a pic http://www.hondacivicrepairs.com/views/honda-civic-speed-sensor.JPG
There is a speed sensor located on the rear of the transmisson, close to the firewall. That should take care of the problem
Remove and replace the speed sensor. It's located on the transmisson, near the firewall.

The speed sensor is on the trany just change it and it will work good as new
Most of the time it is a cracked solder joint on the IC that plugs into the speedometer head. Especially if reading show 20mpg sitting still and just fluctuates when moving. If it works when it gets warm in dash it is sure to be the solder joints.

HI. your vehicle has two sensors that feed information to the speedometer. these sensors are mounted on the transmission itself, and should be inspected for damaged.
Cable Type(If Equipped)
To determine if it is the cable, disconnect the cable casing from the transmission and from the back of the speedometer on the instrument panel. Draw the cable out from inside of the casing. The cable looks like a twisted piece or wire. If the cable is broken or if it is dry or brittle. It probably needs to be replaced. If the cable is intact and the same length as the cable casing, the problem is likely the speedometer head.
I would also advise to check the speedometer gear as well.
The speedometer gear is located on the output shaft. Inspect it for damage.
This gear rarely suffers damage because the gear from the speedometer that meshes with it is usually made of a softer material. Sometimes, the speedometer gear on the main-shaft is replaceable. A clip can hold it in place or it can be a pressed fit. A special puller is available to pull these gears on the car.

The "needle at 20MPH" is a sure-fire indicator -- it's the speedometer head. This is a common problem in this year.
I haven't found a fix other than replacing the speedometer head, sorry.

hi, sounds like the vehicle speed sensor mounted on the transmission is going bad or loosing signal. generally, honda speedometers work for life, i've only ever replaced one. now, this is a split year so it may have just a cable going to the transmission instead of an electronic sensor. if the cable is loose, this may also cause this issue. you should probably have a professional shop take a look as the speedometer cable/sensor is very buried in the back of the engine compartment under the air intake hose and behind the starter. also, if there is a check engine light on when the speedo stops working, this should be an easy diagnostic for a technician to do, it would likely be the speed sensor causing this engine light.

You need to discharge the AC system and remove the evaporator to replace the
expansion valve. No two way about it.
No need to remove the dash

You may need an impact gun. If loctite was used, you will need a gun.

I have the same problem. speedometer not working.I showed it to a mechanic and he said 3 prong connector that goes in the speed-sensor is been spoiled and its not a part we can buy in autozone or auto parts shop. I need to get that from a similar honda accord which is junked.
But I couldn't find salvage yard with junked honda vehicles.
If you find the solution please mail me at [email protected].
