P0500 Toyota - can this code affect the coolant temperature sensor 1 ?

Question

would P 0 500 effect the code P 0117 coolant temperature sensor 1

Answer 1

P0500 Vehicle speed sensor A

P0117 Engine coolant temperature circuit low input

No, the engine coolant temperature sensor is a thermister that is built into the engine coolant temperature sensor and it changes it resistance according to the engine coolant temperature ,what you have is a failed temperature sensor. For P0500 this is the vehicle speed sensor if this sensor fails the speedometer does not display the proper vehicle speed.This is also used for the skid condtrol or ABS system and also the shift for the transmission.
