Speed Sensor or Speedo???

Speedo has been playing up and sticking at about 210 mph (needle sits over the +14 mark on the stock boost gauge) and yesterday my chief test driver, Mrs Turbo, reported in to the pits a problem!

 

Speedo playing up, loss of power steering and HICAS light came on. When this happened to me a few weeks ago I noticed that the Techtom was still showing speed accurately in MPH so would this rule out the speed sensor? More likely the Speedo???

 

TIA

Changed the Speed Sensor and all was perfect!

Timmy, sounds like a cabling or speedo problem.

Yep, I'm with Eric on this. If the Techtom is right, then the ECU is getting the right signal, which should eliminate the speed sensor.

Sounds to me like you've got a gay speed sensor.

Check to see if it's gold with sparkly diamonds biggrin.gif

 

I think Matty is right as I only found out this afternoon from my other half that the Techtom had read zero on the speed when it happened!

 

Speed sensor then?

 

My fault for not providing adequate information that I never had to give in the first place! Women eh? biggrin.gif

 

Cheers anyway chaps
