The P0500 OBD-II diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicates: vehicle speed sensor malfunction. This is a medium-severity powertrain code that your vehicle's onboard diagnostics system triggers when the vehicle speed sensor is not sending a proper signal. If your check engine light is on with this code, the vehicle is generally safe to drive, but you should have it inspected soon.
