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.
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.
why would a speedometer and odometer not work on a suzuki motorcycle?
My speedometer works and the odometer does not because there is a plastic gear in the odometer that is broken.
If the speedometer and odometer are both not working, I would blame the speed sensor. If only the speedometer does not work and the odometer does work, the cluster is bad.
The gears in the speedometer are stripped. If the odometer is working then you have input.
odometer won't work w/o speedometer working
If the speedometer works but the odometer does not, the odometer has failed.
Does your odometer work? If the speed sensor goes faulty both speedometer and odometer stop working.
The odometer on a 96 Ford Explorer is tied into the speedometer. If the speedometer is working then there is a gear problem inside of the speedometer causing the odometer to not work.
Speedometer is ran by electronic sensor on rear end. Odometer is ran from speedometer. If both don't work problem is sensor. If speedometer works sensor is okay. If speedometer works and odometer does not problem is in mechanical parts (gears) of of odometer and has to be replaced. Can get used from eBay (search for speedometer or odometer, is one unit) or take to dealer.
