Does my '02 Honda Accord (4cyl) have a transmission speed sensor? How do I know if it is going bad? How do I know if it is the transmission speed sensor or the engine speed sensor? Thanks.

Yes, it drives you speedometer. If it is bad, the speedo won’t work.

Called a tachometer, if the sensor is bad, the tachometer in the dash won’t work.
