Default Speedometer not working

I have a 95' accord accord that speedometer don't work. All other gauges in dash work properly with the exception of the gear indication light which blinks on & off. The check engine light also comes on from time to time, mostly after I began traveling and after I press the brakes. Have any one else experience this problem and if so can you give any advice. I have been told this may be caused by a bad speed sensor. Please advise.

If it was a bad speed sensor I think the CEL(Check engine light) would always be on. Its possible the speedo itself is bad. Your best bet would be to figure out whats setting off your CEL and go from there.

Is there a way to get the check engine codes off without going to the HONDA. AutoZoze, Advance Auto, etc., all say it has to be 96' or newer. Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah there is a blue connector with 2 wires going to it under the glove box. Take that, and bend a piece of paper clip or a wire or anything that will conduct electricity and put one end in each pin.

Then watch the check engine light, it will flash a code, remember the code and look it up online and you will know what is setting it off.
