This happend on one of my cares. It was just a cable that needed to be changed under the hood. I am sure anyone at napa or autozone can help you out.
the speedometer on my 97 toyota camary stopped working and the check engine light came on why
There are a few reasons that could cause the speedometer to stop working on your Toyota Camry. If the mileage is still working then the speedometer cable end is damaged. If both the odometer and speedometer do not work then the cable is most likely broken.
If the speedometer doesn't work either, then the cable broke or came loose. Otherwise, the gears in the odometer broke.
sounds like the cable broke usually on the transmission end
Most likely because your speedometer cable is broken. If I find the guide for removing the instrument cluster, I'll post it here.
You may need to replace the speedometer fuse. The speedometer cable can cause your speedometer to stop working. The speed sensor can also cause the speedometer to stop working.
The best way is to buy a book on your model and see if you can do it. Then! Ask again on this sight for help when you feel confident that you know what your doing to repair the speedometer.

The odometer is electronic, there is a plug in on the back of the speedometer, however the plugin for the odometer also may power other controls, so this may not be a good idea. I dont know why your trying to stop the odometer but your out of luck the computer keeps track of your information your odometer is just a read out like a monitor
If the speedo stops also, it is the speed sensor. If just the odometer, take it to a speedo shop.
You need to replace the speed sensor. It sends a signal to the speedometer and also sends a signal to the transmission on when it should shift.
Just took my 1996 Camry to the Toyota dealership, my odometer was clicking off 1.6 miles for every road mile. I was informed that my speedometer was reading 70mph and actual was 67 mph (not bad). The fix is a $500 odometer cluster per the dealership. It is the 2nd one the dealership has a record of going bad. It is not a high failure part. Consider yourself one of the lucky folks that may end up withh a million mile Camry.
