Symptoms of a P0500 DTC may include:
If everything looks OK, replace the sensor.
- 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
- 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 (should not apply here)
If everything looks OK, replace the sensor.

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 (should not apply here)
Check all wiring and connectors that lead to the speed sensor. The location of the sensor depends on your vehicle. The sensor should be on the TC. If the wiring and connectors are OK, then check the voltage at the speed sensor. Again, the exact procedure will depend on vehicle...check FSM for proper voltage.
If everything looks OK, replace the sensor.
