OBD-II TROUBLE CODE GUIDE
P0500: Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction
A valid vehicle-speed signal is not reaching the engine or transmission computer.
What P0500 means
A valid vehicle-speed signal is not reaching the engine or transmission computer.
Common possible causes
- Wheel or transmission speed sensor
- Damaged wiring or tone ring
- Wheel-bearing, network, or module fault
What to check first
Record all stored and pending codes and freeze-frame data before clearing anything. Inspect relevant wiring, connectors, hoses, fluid levels, and obvious damage. Use vehicle-specific service information and test the affected system before purchasing parts.
A code is not a parts order. Several faults can create the same code, and replacing the component named in a code description may not correct the underlying problem.
