K Series Speed Sensor Hack (DASH works!) CSS to VSS

A quick and simple way to make the CSS speed sensor work with the dash on an EG/EK/DC using a Haltech Elite 1500 and the VSS Output function

[@gregolas597]

Holy shit you have no idea how much this video helped me wrap my head around how vss works for my K swapped s2k

[@AutoBodyEverything]

What problem did you have? I just got a vtec malfunction and a cereal communication malfunction together after power was cut off right at 5k rpm under a humble pull. K24a2 NA pro4 6spd manual lsd all new krune/hybrid harnesses to PND ecu. I also lost communication to my laptop a few times when I can’t to plug it in to see why the engine light came on. Later that night, laptop and kpro communication was good again. But idk if that has anything to do with what happened at 5k rpm bcs I was not utilizing my laptop , it was unplugged.

Damn bro you're good, I love the speed of your info output!

[@erikthehondaguy7766]

Could you just talk a little bit slower and clearer for the people from outside of the US? I had to review the video 5 times before I exactly understood what you were saying. Would be very helpful thanks.

[@t.j2881]

He won't. He'll just tell you to play the video at quarter or half speed.

[@my93foxmustang1]

lmao..he doesn't breathe

[@AutoBodyEverything]

I usually speed things up on the TY playback speed in settings but this guy talk just right for a Latino 🫡

[@MARIOMARTINEZ-sn4qs]

I went to 75% speed. Haha. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one

The video actually itself is speed up to fit in youtube platform

[@alomechanthasinh4079]

Great info. Thanks for sharing

[@bsbuilt]

i just used this video to setup the VSS in an 05 RSX. thanks

[@MrEGThug]

You got an 04 trans in there? How did u do it

[@corn4854]

Great video

[@angelpelcastre3328]

Great video, now how can someone do this if we have a stock Rsx ecu and we don’t have hondata or halltech I understand what to do in the trany side but how can we make it work on the Ecu side ? Thanks in advance

[@jessbrown7557]

Do I need to do this if im running an lc7? Or can I just change it in the haltech software to work with the newer vss?

[@97ektre4]

Thanks for dropping info I have the same problem with my trans I have a css in the front

[@97ektre4]

Does it work with KproV4?

[@A.QPerformance]

Kpro v4 has the option to convert that high frequency signal to low one. If you dont have a Kpro you can use Dakota device. its easier to use. just needs 10 mis or so to splice the signal wire and wire Dakota in. I will be making a detailed video in few days

[@97ektre4]

@@A.QPerformance I have KproV4 but my speed sensor is css and with those gotta get a speed converter unless you change wires up

[@A.QPerformance]

@@97ektre4 No you don't need converted like Dakota if you have a Kprov4. here is a ncie video from Brian. This iwll sove your problem kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2WQdnalbrGomtU

[@anthonyc.8662]

How does this work when using the humble performance engine harness in let’s say a k20z3 trans

[@chicoleno007]

So this will work with an 08 si transmission? I have a k24 with 08 si transmission with 02 to 04 rsk type s harness

[@bobbydelamar606]

I have a 1989 K24 CRX with a 2006 SI transmission. I installed a Rywire harness. Hondata installed on a 2004 ECM. Hondata is not reading speed. I have 12v, though, going to the CSS..?

[@davnes83]

I'm running 6 speed si k20z3 transmission I bought a jumper harness will install have to do same thing with the wiring on the inside. Also I'm running haltech 1500

[@LOU2U2]

Hackz are gr8

[@Hybrideg6]

You got a link for those electrical plug pins?

[@JDMreck]

Can i just swap the the wires on my 05 vss and will work on my eg with the kpro ecu

[@wolfywolfwolf9871]

Where can I get a copy of pin labels of all connector?

[@Yourbarber_gio]

Can you do the coolant temp next?

[@notone4029]

Kinney, so i have COMPLETELY different setup. A Kpro 4 with a namebrand GPS speedo unit. Previous owner of my K swap installed a m factory LSD and did NOT install the ring gear back on! 😂 i don't mess with trannys internally SO... went with GPS unit to bypass ALL that. Sorry for LONG story. ANYHOW in theory I should be able to run my GPS gauge signal wire to the E25 PIN and be golden..??? Any help/info APPRECIATED.

[@i_can_make_you_laugh5949]

Does this work using kpro v4? I have an accord transmission.

[@keithjennings7502]

Will this work on my 1993 Kswapped eg civic, I recently fitted a 2005 rsx type s transmission (NSN4) Iam running a Heltech Elite 1000, seen in the comments another guy needed to fit washers? Iam hoping mine is the same as yours lol

[@gianpoueymirou4886]

How can i use a 04 transmission on a 05 rsx?

[@AutoBodyEverything]

What happens if someone does not know to do this? What will happen if this is not done and under what driving conditions would trigger or cause what type of error or failure? Very important question on my end 🙏?

[@justinrutgers4315]

will this work with a kprov4 and k20z3 trans?

[@Tyler-jt1tl]

have you done this yet? I have z3 and will be using kprov4 and am at the point of figuring this out. Can't seem to find a solid solution.

[@kserieskid253]

Would this be the same when running an IC7 dash?

[@humbleperformance]

For the ic7 you don’t have to do the output wiring, just the change on the connector at the sensor.

[@accorddynamic244]

Does this also work for tsx transmissions I need this

[@humbleperformance]

Yes

[@Boostlee2023]

@@humbleperformance I have an rsx 02-04 tuck harness and 03-07 accord transmission with css. Going to run Kpro v4, can I just repin into a css plug in correct location? Or do I need to use a converter? Brian says Vss is 12v and css is 5v but k tuned says they’re both 5v, so I’m at a loss of what to do.

[@A.QPerformance]

VSS operates on 12v while CSS on 5 Volts. Also give you expert advice on which washer to use under that 10mm bolts holding the CSS. I fired one ECU and Hondata and 4 CSS sensors figuring out which size washer to put. Honda originally do not put any washer there but some time putting sensor back, if we slightly over tighen it, the CSS touches the 3rd gear teeth and ECU will get burnt. Leannt after wasting near 1000$. 150$ ECU,700$ Flashpro, 4 CSS sensors fried. I have looked into Honda manual and there is no wahser there originally. very bad doing from Honda. Edited 2023: i found the solution of correct waser size after so much trouble and made a full video kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5LEnYeEiZijl9E

[@vt6469]

There is a washer .... its very common to not notice when removing

[@A.QPerformance]

@@vt6469 thanks for ansswer but there is none in some models. but i solved the dilema by finding the correct size. here i made a whole new video kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5LEnYeEiZijl9E

[@thomasguy3503]

I have mine hooked up using a d series sensor housing if you have cable driven trans speed sensor to your dash you can use a d series sensor but the plastic gear strips easily you can buy part #sbc1118 its some k series sensor and take the shaft out gear and shaft are solid metal exact same gear as k20z1 sensor but shaft and top are the same as the d series just put the shaft and gear from sbc1118 into d series sensor housing put on k20z1 may most likely will work with any k motor with a gear driven trans speed sensor on a post 91 honda this was a more simple solution that i accidentally stubled upon couldnt find any info on it in the forums anyone who sees tgis share the info

[@sbinqnz]

How does it work if u have kpro

[@A.QPerformance]

Kpro has option to convert high density signal from CSS to low density one which a VSS produces. you just need to check an option in it. which tranny are you using? Are you giving sensor 5 volts or 12v ?

[@humbleperformance]

Cluster will not work

[@BrianGillespie_brianathasport]

You go look at the VTEC Academy video he originally referenced.

[@Boostlee2023]

@@BrianGillespie_brianathasport his only explanations are for css to Vss, never the opposite.. I need to know how to swap from 02-04 rsx harness to 03-07 accord css transmission.

​@@Boostlee2023Do you need to know how to wire it?

Nothing like finding the video you need to fix your problem but the guy explaining every thing just did a hot line of meth.

[@blazzerr714]

Man he talk fast 😢

[@brisevans8976]

Talking super fast. Please slow it down slightly to understand easier for people who just don’t pick up on the first time

[@chezrayrodney1480]

The sensor will eventually burn out as the css was initialy for 5v not 12v

[@allmotorpete]

I was thinking the same, I burnt out a css feeding it 12v.

[@corn4854]

So what is the fix you used for this adding a resistor inline ?

[@A.QPerformance]

Yes. Just cut that 12v wire and give it a 5 volts from some other sensor. i mostly do the newer k-swaps like Honda Fit, CRZ, Insight. If we use these older trannies in newer Hondas in which ECU is looking for CSS high frequency signal, , we have to give VSS seperate 12volts and just take the signal out of it which needs to go in Plug-A of ECU. But as signal is of low frequency from VSS we need a device like Dakota to splice in. i think i need to make a detailed video regarding this. a lot of people strugling with this issue
