i don't think so... that could be the reverse light trigger or so.

the speed sensor is at the other side of the tranny case... more close to the strater motor housing and its socket is not that big.

thats it as in i am wrong?? if that so then:

what is the other socket at the back of the engine?
where is the reverse light trigger?
why does the CEL is triggered when the socket at the back is removed? (the CEL comes on if you remove the speedometer socket a well)

hmm... i don't know which sensor you mean though. possibly shift logic sensor that is standard on woos but it only used for auto trannies? i dunno..

the reverse lights cables are in the front of the box... near the clutch pump (D16) or clutch cable (F16)

If the ECu doesn't receive the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) you CEL will came up. The ECU need this signal to adjust the idle speed.

I've replaced once in my nubira, since the plastic shaft broke up.

i got confirmation from my mechanic that i am correct... the socket near the starter motor is for the speed sensor and the one near the clutch piston is for the reverse light.

now the pic posted here is too close to show its location in respect to the clutch bell housing... both sockets are close to the shift stick mechanism as well so the mechanism will show in a pic for any of the two sensors.

the reverse light socket got no bolt to hold it and i think it is the drive shaft end in the top middle of the pic... this could be a pic for the speed sensore indeed.

Besides th VSS socket has 3 cables, and the reverse SW has only 2.

the one in the pic got 3 wires indeed... this is an authentic pic of the VSS... thanks john_trickle for the pic and thanks gianfranco for clearing that out.

BTW... on the F16 is kinda different... it still has the wires.. but it has the mechanical speedo cable coming out of it.

The repair manual shows it like this

Can you only see it from under the vehicle?

no you can only see it from the top of the engine bay... it is hard to see it as it is barried under lots of pipes and wires.

I just bought a Lanos yesterday and am having the same trouble with the speedo. I know nothing about Daewoos yet and don't have any repair manuals yet. Could somebody please take a picture from above of the whole engine compartment and draw a little arrow pointing to the general location I should be looking down for the speed sensor. The pictures I've seen so far are close ups and don't help me since I'm brand new to the Lanos. Thanks a lot.

the speed sensor is on the transmission so you have to get under the car.
