'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!

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
