Code 42- Does anybody know a solution

[FJ-KroozerKrusader]

hey guys, i recently just fixed my TPS on my 1989 3fe fj62 LandCougar and so i pulled the efi fuse and disconnected the battery to erase codes and the TPS one left but code #42 is still there. vehicle speed sensor or ecu. does anybody know if this harms your truck if you cant fix it. also the only reason i may think it tripping code 42 is because i have a broken speedo cable............could that be it? thanx fella's

That could be it - your speedo head puts out the vehicle speed sensor.

I am at a loss to describe how this will impact your Cougar's performance...
