My odometer and tripometer recently stopped working ( actually works for awhile, then stops working, works again, etc.) All other gauges work fine. From a previous post I was told...

"It is your vehicle speed sensor. I had the same symptoms as you, except my speedo also would not work. I checked the harness going to the vehicle speed sensor and it was secure and not loose. So, I got one from Ericdwong for $10.00, popped it in, and everything works now."

Problem(s): I can't find any info at all on a part called a speed sensor, I don't know who "ericdwong" is, I probably wouldn't recognize a speed sensor if it was staring me in the face, and I wouldn't know where to put it (no smart a.. comments please )

Any and all info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

 

its a black plug on top of your transmission

 

Wouldn't he get a CEL is the speed sensor wasn't working? If the check engine light isn't on, that's not his problem.

 

The odometer/tripometer problem started about a month ago. The CEL came on for the first time about a week ago. So...the problems could be related??? I guess this is good news (one problem instead of two). I did get receive some info about retreiving the CEL code. Will do that in the next day or two.

Thanks!

 

The speed sensor code is 0104.

 

I'm having the same problem and I cannot get my inspection. The CEL is on and I was told that the speed sensor needs to be replaced. Can someone please point me to some instructions to get this done? I have a 1997 Maxima GLE.
