Invaderjim Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Recently bought a 91' Ls400 and it has a dead speed. Speedo, Trip, and Odometer all don't work, and the O/D off light is flashing. Replaced the No.1 Speed sensor which solved nothing, and even replaced the cluster (needed it anyway) to no avail. Checked the tranny code after replacing the speed sensor and it's still throwing a code 42. What are the chances I bought a bummed speed sensor? Is there anything else I should look into?
steve2006 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 There are 2 speed sensors on the transmision,the speedometer driven gear will have a drive gear on it.If the one you changed does not this may be the reason why you still have the problem. There are also 4 other speed sensors which are actually the ABS sensors,one on each hub but these are not the cause of your problem
Invaderjim Posted March 23, 2011 Author Posted March 23, 2011 I replaced the one with the gear. Still have the same problems and the code 42.
steve2006 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Ok. have you checked the wiring to the sensor? I don't know if this would work but if you have a battery drill gently attach the gear of the speed sensor to the drill chuck,turn on the ignition then slowly turn the gear with the drill,get some one to see if the speedometer needle moves.
Invaderjim Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 I checked the plug with a test light and one of this wires is getting power. Ill try what you suggested and see what happens..If nothing could it be another bad sensor?
