Error Code P0500

danli48888 · May 20, 2018

Symptoms: Odometer not working. Speedometer not working. Cruise control no longer works. ABS light on, Brake light on, SES light on. (ABS has been down for over a year.)

Had computer scanned at Autozone and got P0500 Error Code - Vehicle Speed Sensor, but no parts suggested.

Checked on Youtube and found this one

. The guy warned that it is not CVT transmission sensor but should be the VSS sensor. However, he was using Nissan Sentra as an example.

Couldn't find videos or articles online about Versa VSS. Google has many pictures but they are very different from the part the guy in the Youtube Video was showing.

My questions are
1. Does Versa use a similar part to Sentra?
2. What parts need to be replaced in Versa to fix the P0500 problem?

Thanks much in advance!!!

I believe wheel speed is read off the CV shaft, not the bearing. There is a ring gear of sorts on the outside of the outer CV joint that the sensor reads off of.

I fixed the issue. I pressed in the bearings I got from the dealership and cleared the codes. 1 day later now and my car still hasn’t put any lights up on the dash(indicating to check for codes). Thank you all for your help.

Still completely confused, but glad for you that your issue is gone!

Like said, on a 2016 Versa, the wheel speed sensor should have nothing to do with the wheel bearing(s) themselves. The wheel speed sensor mounted in the knuckle reads a ring on the CV shaft.
