Engine Error Code

No, I think the VSS is broken. The speedo cluster will have to come out, and the module inspected/replaced.

As far as the rad light, this is a sensor in the coolant reservoir (plastic jug in from of the radiator support) warning of low coolant there. Is yours still connected to the radiator, or is it by-passed?

jrok,

EthanMKIII has a five speed Supra. According to the TRSM, the only VSS on this car, like mine, is located in the speedo cluster.

i get that code also and the wire on the tranny is hanging there the one at the speedo is for cruise trust me
the r154 like i have and with abs there is like 4 wires from the back of the tranny i still have to wire it in

And, I had to rip into my transmission this summer. The sensors in the trannies are for the ABS only. I had to take mine apart, and ride without it. The ABS system light went on, not the CEL, and no the code 43. I had to replace my tranny with one from a non-ABS car, and it had no sensor at all. Because my case was torn up, I had to use it, and lose my ABS. I'm telling you, the VSS is in the speedo, not the transmission.

Look at the TSRM, pages MT-11 for the W58, and MT-54 for the R154. They clearly state the rear sensor (for ABS). Without ABS, no sensor.

on alldata says to put a voltmeter on the wire in the computer a spin the tires then check the sensor at the tranny
im almost 100% you need a vss from the tranny
