'02 TJ trouble code P0503 -- speed sensor?
 

Hey guys,

had my idiot light turn on today for the 2nd time (first time a month
ago).
Did the odometer reset, ignition key turn and got the P0503 trouble
code.
This was listed in my service manual (that I could find) but searching
on the net I found that it is: P0503 Vehicle Speed Sensor
Intermittent/Erratic/High

Not sure what this means....any tips?

BTW: any other sympatico members get hosed with them dropping the
newsgroups? Thank goodness for google groups!

Re: '02 TJ trouble code P0503 -- speed sensor?
 

It's probably in the same connection that fix it a month ago.

Yup, I raised holy hell too. I had a package that combined unlimited
DSL with long distance. With half the internet gone, I canceled and was
going to cancel my phone too until they offered me a deal that works out
for a faster connection with a discount that makes up for me having to
pay a 3rd party for usenet.

As far as your code goes, I would be chasing down connections with a
spray contact cleaner. It does those computer signal pug and sockets
wonders.

Re: '02 TJ trouble code P0503 -- speed sensor?
 

So is it the CPS connector I'm after?

I'm afraid I didn't have to do anything the first time...it fixed
itself (honestly thought it was the gas tank vapour lock warning as the
Jeep had sat for a couple weeks without running).

thanks

Re: '02 TJ trouble code P0503 -- speed sensor?
 

If the speed sensor plug and socket are dirty, then I also would do the
CPS and the TPS and any other I could get my mitts on.

I think the one you are after is the sensor down on the t-case, but
could be wrong.

I have been using Google to post since the b*st*rds at Bell decided to
change thingsI'm waiting for them to contact me back as I threatened to
move everything (the net, satillite, phone and 3 cells) over to Rogers.
Told them that for what they are hosing people for they (bell) should
be offering the newsgroup service free. I vcan get exactly the same
services with Rogers for about $25 less per month.

Re: '02 TJ trouble code P0503 -- speed sensor?
 

Thanks guys....
I got in there with the contact cleaner and hit those connectors.
The trouble light has gone for now (knocks on wood)....hopefully for a
while (last time it went out on its own, only to come back amonth
later).

cheers
