In case you were wondering, yes, my speedometer problem has been resolved after replacing both sensors. Thanks for watching!
was the RPM working whilst the spedometer wasn't?
So speed sensor and what the another one?
Amazing how to video! Thank you for the very helpful video. Looking forward to your next video!
Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching
Excellent video!
Also, liked the tips on how to keep debris from falling into the transmission. Here is another, for people who don't have (or don't want to drag your air line) an air compressor, a can of compressed air is very effective.
Great video, great instructions and great explanations! Thanks!
Thanks for posting this clip. It has recently happened to my vehicle 👍
Appreciate ya brother, good dude right here
Thank you for your time making this video and educating others! I have an 04 lincoln town car and my digital speedometer is not showing how fast I'm going and my digital odometer not showing either! I have checked all fuses and wires and connections and they are all good I have even swapped out the instrument cluster and the same thing! The car drivers normal and smooth through all the gears!my cruise control is also not working? Could it be the same thing? The speed sensor?and which one?the input or output? Please help!!! Thank you very much for responding back in advance!!!
Thanks for you help i will go and try that 👍
Excellent video. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Please share the video link. Thank you
My daughter had similar problems with her old Windstar. I removed the instrument cluster and found cracked/loose solder joints throughout the PC board. Re-soldered all the connections, re-installed and it has worked fine for years. Now the problems have moved to the transmission.
Easy instructions, thank you!!
Glad to help! Thanks for watching
Strange. I just started working on my Honda on Friday and this exact issue happened to me. I hadn't even gotten around to searching for a fix. Thanks for knowing my issues ahead of time. Lol
Was your honda a civic?
Mine is having an issue with resting at a certain point for some time but i found a temporary fix for it
@@bobbobAtYourMoms Mine is an Accord. Still running.
Very well done. 👍
Many thanks Kevin! Be sure to rate thumbs up and share.
Thanks for another Great Video.
You're welcome Ed!
Not that I would ever be doing anything like that but that was a very interesting and informative video eNm! 👍👍😉😉
Thanks Steve!
do u have to replace both ? i just bought the 1st one u did and the new one it was $ 116 does that sound right to u ?
Great explanation, very well done 👍.
Thanks Orley!
TQ for your information bro
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching
@@electronicsNmore of course.. your welcome bro
Great vid, thanks. Concord La Scala Chrono?
Yes
Name is Jackie, I'm having the same problem on a 2009 Toyota Highlander limited, Speedometer would not go above 40 mph and the transmission shifted funny, It appears to be a fairly easy repair to make, its, finding the parts, can be the issue, these parts and numbers , If you have the part number can you list them on the site or are they all different, and easy to find? It was a great job you did on the video. TY looking forward in hearing from you. I live in Centreville, VA I'm on FB also.
how clean is that motor area 👍
Almost 19yrs old. :-)
Vacuum cleaner with a crevice attachment works well too for removing loose debris.
Agree! Thanks for watching Richard
Hi mate I have an Audi A5 2009 when I turn on the car everything works fine but after some seconds when I’m start driving the speedo goes to zero abs epc esp lights came on and shows me also brake warning contact workshop.
If I turn off the car everything goes to normal but after a while is doing the same thing.
I was on audi yesterday. They did a Dignostic and they couldn’t find any faults because they told me that my ecu has been upgraded.
and when they try to find the faults the computer is crushing and doesn’t show any fault.
1 another guy told that the gateway and the wiring has been changed.
I have no idea what the problem is but I have saw many videos of you and u find solutions for everything.
Is anything that I can do?
5:00 air flow is very good. What brand blower are you using
McDonald’s ac r us
Wow, that was fantastic video! As good as or better than what I've seen on dedicated automotive channnels, but clearly some channel hating lowlifes had to rate it down. They always hide behind the dislike button, and never have the balls to post a comment exposing themselves. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for your support!
Another valuable tutorial. ? What year auto is it, when did it go electronic? Thanks!
2003, made in Oct 2002. Probably started using electronic in the mid 90's.
@@electronicsNmore Hmmm. That probably means mine 04's Silverado & Merc GMLS both have it. Very helpful, thanks!
I have a 2009 Saturn Ara but not only that's my spenameter fluctuate all my lights come on the - when I step on the break
I have a 2000 camry doing thus same issue and it runs real rough especially when tje temps are very warm
Outside
Didn't help my car sensors replaced still not working after car warms up
completed my repairs with the CORRECT SENSOR today!!!! now the speedometer works as it should.........not every thing on youtube is correct !!!!
Hook a scan tool to it or pay someone to diagnose it. He's using process of elimination which is ok provided you don't run out of money, time or patience.
What do you do when you have intermittent speedometer failure and your speedometer is connected to your CAN, ABS, and wheel speed sensors? And you have no codes. And your car's built in self diagnosis tells you that the instrument cluster is bad but when the speedometer starts back working the built in self diagnosis says the instrument cluster is good🤷🏾♂️?
Oh yeah to change out the instrument cluster you have to remove several dash panels, steering wheel, and driver air bag. All to change out an instrument cluster that may or may not be any good. What do you do?
Should have sprayed carb cleaner around the sensors to clean.....
I have my Volkswagen jetta and that is my problem right now
Every time I turn on my Ac it starts to fluctuate what could be the problem
Is the video the same procedure for a 2009 Highlander Limited? The problem is the speedometer will not go above 40 MPH and it seems the transmission shifts a little funny, this seem to be because of the speedometer not working correctly. I've parked the car till I find the right parts to replace them, I would appreciate it if you would, if you have the part number for the 2009 Toyota Highlander limited. and can send them to me? or where did you purchase them? the 2 correct number for the replacement parts??? Like the ones you replaced on the video. I look forward in hearing from you.
Sounds like a faulty transmission speed sensor
Very Good!... #46 ✝ {8-21-2022}
Sir my polo car speedometer some time working and some time not working check light handle light coming and going but car running no problem, Vw service centre checked loose wire and some spray to remove rust problem solved but came again what to do
Most likely the sensors.
What to do if my speedometer goes very well from 0 to 100mph, but it moves very slowly and stacks at 100mph, cant pass past 100mph while maximum speed is 180mph.
That's similar to what my vehicle is doing for weeks. No mechanic can't figure out what's wrong
Cruise control make me fast😊
I did both sensors on a 2002 Hyundai Sonata and guess what?......NO CHANGE. After thinking about these sensors....they are getting their signals from the speed of the engine
NOT FROM THE DRIVE AXLES. I noticed there was another sensor on the transmission above the left (driver's axle) it has a plastic toothed gear that drives it and a hall effect
sensor mounted on top. That is the one that signals the speedometer to operate. Bought the sensor from ROCK AUTO.
Could you please share the sensor name or exact location? I haven the same issue with my Sonata 2003. Both speedometer sensors replaced and still not working
@@juslopezma Did you get my reply???
@@robertanderson6850 no, I did not
@@juslopezma Sensor is near the lower side of transmission right near the axle housing, One 10 mm bolt, has nylon gear attached. Rock auto part # WVE 5S4875
@@juslopezma I keep trying to reply but get nowhere !!!!
What the name of the sensor please?
Should be mentioned in the video
Haha I thought u own an E46 ! xD
The BMW instrument cluster looks much better(more colorful) for a video thumbnail.
I doubt that you really needed both sensors.
Expense of the replacements would be the critical factor in my decision-if they were cheap enough, I wouldn't hesitate to replace both.
Usually one fails, but you replace both if you're going to pull everything apart. The last thing you want, is to drive for 6 months and have the problem start up again because the other old sensor has failed. They're not that expensive, but if you don't do the repair yourself, you'll likely get ripped off. Thanks for watching!
This is most of the time in Mercedes Benz
This is a shotgun repair. You didn't diagnose the fault, you simply blasted parts at it. Yes, in a lot of cases it is the sensor. But in other cases it it could be damaged wiring, a bad ground, etc. It's unlikely you needed both sensors, and it's unlikely this will fix every case of the speedometer not working. This would have been a good opportunity to discuss the diagnostic process, show how to examine the codes with an inexpensive code reader, inspect the wiring and grounds, decide for certain what the problem was based on the evidence, and then effect the simple repair. I think this was a missed opportunity for you; you're usually very thorough.
Far from a shotgun repair. Understanding how the system is set up(wired), I used logic. I told viewers to inspect the connectors on the sensors, so clearly if they see corrosion or a frayed wire, they'd repair that first and test out the speedometer. The odds of (2) sensors failing at the same time is extremely low, but you replace both because you'll save time and money in the long run. You won't get trouble codes for this issue, I checked. You also cannot troubleshoot a sensor that fails intermittently(as in my case), you can only troubleshoot one that failed for good. No opportunity was missed, compared to other videos on this subject, I think I did extremely well explaining, and many people will benefit from the information. Thanks for watching
@@electronicsNmore These are actually all really valid points that I think should have been spelled out in the video. Probably in order. So 1: "This is the problem" 2: "This is how it used to work and how it works now" 3: "Won't get codes / checked codes and You can't really troubleshoot a sensor that fails intermittently much, you can only really troubleshoot one that failed for good." 4: pull apart /inspect "IF you see XYZ repair that first and test out" 5: " odds of (2) sensors failing at the same time is extremely low, but you replace both because you'll save time and money in the long run" and then ideally 6: Look its fixed. Then again Perfection is the enemy of Good so not sure how you want to handle that.
@TheGodOfAllThatWas I got a great idea, make a video and send me the link when it's complete. I'd love to see it. Make sure NOTHING is left out.
@@electronicsNmore So there's a lot here...... I actually did start to take a crack at it, failed and went "nah, I don't care that much". I got the idea that you cared. That's why you even bothered to make the video. I also get the idea that if you spend too much time and effort making it perfect nothing get's done (that's actually a large part of why I don't have videos, and what I said about perfect VS good). I know just enough to get myself into trouble, and haven't spent enough time getting myself out of said trouble to be comfortable to start some of these projects. I was worried after seeing your video others like me would be either over confident and miss things like the wiring, or other things the code reader would help with, OR under confident and not try it because they'd get lost thinking you skipped over "Obvious things" that they'd need to learn first like the code reader. When I saw Geoff's comment I thought those addressed the concerns I had and figured if you just kept less qualified people like me more in mind when making videos it'd make your future videos better. My comments are just my 2 cents. People won't even pick 2 cents off the ground it's so worthless. Pinning Geoff's comment would be a decent alternative to redoing the video, as I understand it for algorithm reasons you don't want to redo videos (again don't know for sure, haven't done enough). I just thought you'd like the video to be more helpful to all audiences, not just the ones who already know what they're doing. I was watching your videos to learn better "What I'm doing". I'm sorry it seems my comments we're perhaps more worthless then the advertised $0.02.
Anyone with the same issue and use that tip to fix their problems?
Click bait!!!! I thought it was for a BMW X5 .. man fix your tab picture?!!
