Manual vr6 with 00281 fault

[Mark261288 10]

Hi, I've tired the searching on here but I Havnt come up with much of a answer. Im getting the fault code:

00281 - Vehicle speed sensor (G6 - 27-00 implausable signal on my manual 94 corrado and I'm not sure how to rectify it.

 

I read on here about a fix involving joining some wires but there wasn't any info on which wires etc.

 

Any advice would be great.

 

Thanks

Is everything working as it should?

[Mark261288 10]

Yes it is all working as it should and the blue/white wire behind the stereo isn't plugged it. I'm going to have a look behind the fuse box tomorrow. It just winds me up that I've got a fault code I can't fix.

Have you checked the sensor and wiring to the connector? It sits on top of the gearbox.

I think fault lies between the sensor and the ECU, if everything else is working.

 

Like fla, said the sensor sits on top of the gearbox. I'll have look at the wiring diagram tomorrow for you. To see how it's it wired if I can find it.

think its normally pin 1 from the speed sensor to the ecu pin 2 to speedo and pin 3earth is how most are wired.if the speedo is working them good as the sensor feeds both.
