Dead Set Speedometer

[asmdriskell]

mga gurus, help naman po sa oto ko, biglang namatay ang speedometer nya, hidi po pumapalo yung needle at patay din po yung odometer na digital, pero yung ibang gauge ay gumagana pati ilaw, talagang yung speedometer at odometer lang wang walang function, ano po kaya ang possible problem nito? Thanks po..

Bro try to check your transmission speed sensor baka na putol ang wire or na short. If so this would automatically stop your speedo, odo, trip meter from giving you any reading. or maybe the pinion of your sensor is worn out.

This is definitely not a speed sensor problem.

You can repair this two ways:

1. DIY - Re-seat the connection to the speedo gauge. You may also look-up the fuse location for your gauge in the manual and see if it's blown. If that does not work, get your hands on a shop manual for your car and check if power (+12V) is being supplied properly to the speedo gauge. Of course, also check the grounding. No electronic device can work without a proper ground. If there's power going into the gauge, the problem may lie inside the gauge assembly. It could be a cold solder or a loose intenal connection. You can still go further with the DIY if you're confident enough that you can put it back together. Otherwise...

2. Have it professionally looked at and repaired.

kailangan mo muna malaman kung ano an readings sa engine data , at ma scan muna bago mag try to diagnose para minimal ang error

happened to me before. diagnosis was faulty speed sensor.

If the speedometer is not moving and odometer readout is still there but does not change, then it's likely the speed sensor. But in the case of the TS, all power to the speedo/odo gauge is out (blank digits). A broken speed sensor can never do that.

thanks po sa mga advise, papacheck ko po mga sinabi nyo...

yup, totally wala pong lumalabas sa digital reading nya...

sir may mga kilala ba kayong shop na pwede kong patingnan ito? thanks...

thanks po ng madami sa advise, sir any recommendation po na shop na pwede kong patingnan ito, salamat po..

just an update :

nag pa check ako last saturday regarding this problem, nag check yung gumagawa ng sensor, OK pa ang speedometer sensor ko, nag check din ng electrical wiring based sa electrician ok naman daw, so ang lumalabas na sira ay ang gauge mismo..sunog daw yung motor ng speedometer sa loob ng gauge. May makukunan ba ako ng ganung motor dito? any help po or papalitan ko na ng buo ang gauge ko? thanks..

are you using resistorized spark plugs? lancers dapat ganun ang gamit kundi masisira talaga ang cluster meters nya. yan ang sinabi sa akin nung mitsu diamond motors, kasi may mga nagsiraan ng meters tapos pagtingin nila ordiany plugs ang gamit so nasisira yung cluster meter.

alam ko original na spak plugs pa din ang gamit ko eh, basta na amoy ko yun na parang sunog na plastic tapos ayun na deadset na...

saan kaya may gumagawa nun? thanks

[asmdriskell]

nagawa na ang speedometer ko, bumili ako ng stock panel gauge na pang lancer, then kinahuyan yung binili kong panel gauge. Kinuha yung PCB assembly ng speedometer rhen yun ang kinabit sa gauge ko..so far gumana na sya which is good..

ang problem ko ngayon ang taas masyado ng reading ng milleage, nung namatay yun nasa 65k lang, then yung nakuha ko na stock gauge nasa 138K na ang milleage, yun ang umappear sa digital reading ng milleage ko,
naaayos po ba yun? paano ko ibabalik ang true reading ng milleage ko? thanks..

[asmdriskell]

meron ba tayo sa Pinas or dito sa manila na may Digital Mileage Calibration services? o kaya sa mga casa? para makuha yung true mileage ng oto at sure na tama ang reading at history nito, thanks
