How does S200 know what gear I'm in?

I searched but no straight forward answers.

The only logical answer I got was that S200 uses Map or engine load signal, and the VSS to figure it out. Is this correct?

My hondalogger isn't showing what gear I'm in or when I push the clutch in. Help me iron out these bugs please!

I don't have wires running from the clutch switch to the ECU. Is this input just for launch features??? This car is being used on track only for road racing.


Is my VSS just not working...??? Because I'm not getting a speedo reading in the logger. Car came with cable VSS, and I switched to newer style for ECU to work. Pretty damn sure it's wired correctly, but I'm not perfect. :)

Gear is calculated based on speed / rpm. You will need to fix your vss.

B10 is orange and is the VSS signal

D20 and D22 are the sensor voltage and sensor ground.

Do the D20 and D22 come into play at all or is it just the B10 I'm concerned about.

Can I pick up 12 volts from another source and just chassis ground the ground? My buddy did the original wiring. No codes shown in logger. Shouldn't it throw a VSS code though? Any info would be great guys.

Thanks in advance Hondata guys, the logger is a really good tool.

It needs to be wired per the diagrams at http://www.hondata.com/techwiringgsr.html

You should not just use chassis grounds and pull voltage from another source...do it right and it will work as it should.
