ODOMETER NON FUNCTIONAL
my odometer hasnt worked for about 6 years now on my 93 VE. just never thought to remedy the problem until now. what gives? is this a speed sensor related issue? the only thing that doesnt work is the Odometer and trip meter(mileage meters)

disassemble the thing and take the odometer motor out and spin it with your fingers to see if it spins smoothly. i have a picture somewhere lemme find it.

unscrew all 3 of those (after removing fuel/temp gauge) and re-screw the one i circled twice to keep the whole thing from falling apart when you remove the motor

thanks for the reply
its a jap assembled '91 se auto for the nz market.It has cloth electric seats.The auto changes fine if the speedo is working or not.Where is the speed sensor located on the auto? is it on the right hand side?The odo and trip and cruise control do not work when the speedo stops,when the speedo is working the odo,trip and cruise control work fine

now im confused
i took the speed sensor out but now i have different people telling me that if it was the sensor it wouldnt change gear properly.Is there a way i can test the speed sensor before i shell out for another one? or should i take the dash cluster out?

it is possible for your car to shift funny if the speedo cuts out just as you are shifting, IF the speed sensor itself is the problem. I'm thinking your problem is the wiring from the harness to the cluster. the signal splits somewhere down the line, part going to the cruise control unit, part going to the tranny computer, and part to the cluster. so i'm thinking that yours may be reporting properly to the tranny but not to the other two. i don't have an FSM handy so i can't verify that tho.
