Anyone know the VSS for a 2008 Honda Civic DX?

I searched various forums and google it, but nothing. It should be the same for the 06-08 models (DX only)

I think the wire is different for the DX since this model doesnt come with a radio and has no cruise control.

THe link from the first post does not have my car

Thanks for the help

just becuse you have no radio dont mean you dont have the wires int eh same place. look for it there anyway.
mos tof th etime they will throw the same harness in a car no matter what the options are if they are something that is not a seperate harness it is cheaper for them to order 50,000 of the same then 40,000 of one and 10,00 of another.
so i would look for it in the same place any way.
also you can call a dealer ship withc is what i did the other day for s&g and foudn out there really is a Vss wire in the back of the radio but they had two diffrent answer on witch one it was lol so i just hooked it up and the B.C.M and was ovr it

So on another forum i user reported that he does have a wheel speed wire in the 08 Ford Fusion. Its blue/orange and it is in the d.s. rear. I tried hooking it up in my 06 fusion and i get no pulses.

Is it true that an 08 fusion has a wheel speed sense wire thats blue orange, and the wire in my 06 fusion that is blue orange in the exact same spot he claims is NOT the wheel speed sense wire?

This is getting ridiculous because im getting conflicting stories.

Hello, I have a 2005 Lotus Elise. Hooked up an Avic N2, but couldn't find any info on a VSS wire.

Anyone have this information? The engine on an Elise is the same as a Celica GTS. Does that help find the VSS?

Thanks!

Thanks Mickey. My installer Shaan (SR Audio Works, Lebanon, NJ) had figured out the VSS for my ML and hooked it up this weekend.

Thanks again!

Anyone know where I can find the VSS on a 2007 Ford Edge???

Well I found the VSS wire on the 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I own... It is located way up on passanger side firewall behind the glove box... It is a dark green and yellow wire which was really hard to find amongst the 50 other wires coming through the vehicle at that location... You can also find it attatched to the firewall directly under the hood on the passenger side if you want to go that route as well.... The only problem I am having is that the VSS wire canceled my nav bypass that I had working the AVIC-N4 now realizes that the car is moving and while the car is in motion I loose the ability to type destinations into the navi although as soon as the vehicle comes to a stop all the icons light up again. Also there is another annoying message saying there is a problem with the installation of the parking brake wire. I thought that the VSS would not over ride the parking brake bypass... this is not true it does. Good luck

for any vehicles not listed on the rostra site, or vehicles that are CAN-BUS, wheel speed sensor only, or you just dont feel like doing the work of finding VSS, i have an adapter plug for VSS. Its the easiest thing in the world! :D It simply plugs onto the OBD2 port and has a wire coming off of the adapter plug that is VSS you just connect this wire to your VSS input and VIOLA! done like dinner! :)

let me know if anyones intereested works on all vehicles up to and including all 2009 models Porsche, VW, Audi, Mercedes, Chev, anything and everything! i am yet to find anything that they dont work on!
