On cars with an electronically controlled transmission, the answer is yes. The transmission may not shift properly.
Nope, bet it was the other way around... Your speedometer stopped working and your check engine light came on. A broken speedometer (don't know what car so I can't pinpoint it) will cause a whole bunch of codes.
Your speedometer may have failed, or the speedometer cable that connects to the transmission, or the plastic gear in the transmission may be broken.
If both speedometer and odometer do not work, usually the pulse signal are missing. E.g. the wiring coming from the rear differential where the sensor is located, can be deteriorated (broken or shorted). If speedometer only is inoperative, it is easiest to change the whole speedometer. To repair it, you need to be able to work on electronics, disassemble the speedometer unit, access the printed circuit board, and usually replace the leaking electrolytic capacitors on that board, as well as clean the circuit board of the electrolyte. Some other components may be broken also.
Check the sensor that is attached to the transmission. The other possibility is that the motor inside of the speedometer is broken. That happened to me on my 93 Wrangler. Went to the junkyard and got another instrument cluster.
The speedometer is on the dash like any other car....
you need to change the speedometer cause if your odometer is counting then speedometer should be working too. make sure your speed gear its working its in the side of the transmission The odometer and speedometer read off of the same signal. If one works, the signal is ok and the other gauge is bad.
you cant you basically have to go and get one from a junk yard because I have a 97 Jetta and thatsw what I did because there was no other way to replace it.
A speedometer on a 2002 Saturn Vue may stop working due to a faulty vehicle speed sensor (VSS), which measures the speed of the vehicle and sends that information to the speedometer. Other potential issues could include a broken speedometer cable, electrical problems, or a malfunctioning instrument cluster. Additionally, blown fuses or wiring problems can also contribute to the speedometer's failure. It's advisable to have the vehicle diagnosed by a professional to pinpoint the exact issue.

To repair a speedometer cable on a Toyota pickup truck, first, locate the cable, which typically runs from the transmission to the speedometer gauge. Disconnect the cable from both the transmission and the speedometer head. Inspect the cable for any visible damage; if it's frayed or broken, replace it with a new one. Reconnect the new cable securely at both ends, ensuring it is properly routed to avoid any interference with other components.
There is no speedometer cable on a 1995 caravan. it is done by a speed sensor on the transmission and digtal data is sent to the computer and the computer then sends the signal to the speedometer. This is the case even when the speedometer looks analog. Likely a bad speedometer is the cause if it does not move as the speed sensor is used for other functions and would trip the "check engine" light if it was bad. the speedometer is part of the instrument cluster and likely you would need to change the whole thing.
