Please elaborate. Malfunction could mean working erratically, intermittently, or totally inoperative. All of which requires different approach in figuring out the problem.

Are the other gauges affected? How's your fuel gauge?

Inayos ba yung radio recently? I have a hunch that the brown wire from the instrument cluster is not grounded properly. The manual says that the brown wire is attached to or near the right side of the radio chassis.

Not sure. Kung analog odometer, malamang may sira or stuck na gear sa likod ng odometer.

added facts: wala po inayos sa kotse bigla na lang po nag malfunction yung tachometer pati speedometer. Also minsan lang gumana pala yung dalawa. Pag gumana sobrang liit lang ng galaw. Hindi lumalampas ng 500 rpm while yung speedometer pag 100 na takbo mo, 50 lang reading niya yung speedometer and tachometer

Maybe a grounding issue. When I studied the schematics, the fuel gauge, tach, and speedo share the same ground. This ground wire (brown) I'd look at first. It's supposed to be attached to the radio chassis.

up ko lang po. may problem din sa corolla 90 ko small body. hindi accurate kasi yung speedometer ko pag naka 40km/h ka biglang umaakyat sa 100km/h at kung tumatakbo ka naman ng 80 pataas umaakyat sya sa 120km/h.. usually kasi dumadaan ako sa macapagal merong speed limit dun na 60 minsan di ko n alam kung accurate pa ung speed ko kaya sinasabayan ko nalang yung ibang sasakyan para makipantay ako sa speed nya.

repairable din po ba ito?
recommended shop din po na nagkakabit ng tachometer kasi minsan magalaw yung idle timing at sa ac on timing.
