Primero encuentra un FSM, Manual de Servicio de la Fabrica. Tendra detalles sobre todas partes que podrian tener problemas.
En cual manera funciona o no funciona? Parece electrico or talves con el cable? Ruido o sin ruido?

According to Mtchell On-Demand, if your '92 is V6 4x4 with Auto. Trans. then you should have a #1 speed sensor Transmitter on the right rear of the transfer case. Also there should be a #1 speed sensor reciever on the back of the speedometer. I would probably start with the transmitter because it is easier to get to and check for anything obvious like melted/cut wires. As far as specific tests on the sensors and wires, a more detailed service manual is desired for exact procedures and test result values.

FYI, Rena asked about this about a month ago: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...threadid=19293
Rena, what have you checked so far?
The autos (like mine) have a gear driven speed sensor outputing an electrical signal to the speedo.

If I remember correctly, I know in the trucks around 92 is when they started switching over from mechanical speedo to electrical. If I were a betting man, I would bet that his is electrical, but thats just me I'm no expert.

Hey Rena-
I've got the field service manual for the '93 right here: http://personal.utulsa.edu/~nathan-b...fsm/index.html
It's better than paying 80 bucks

Rena, this is starting to be a common problem with 92's for some reason. Do a search and you will see all of the members who have had to replace their speedos recently. Mine was doing the same as yours before it finally quit altogether. you will probably end up replacing the speedometer to finally fix the problem. The speedo runs for about $150 american. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Thanks to all of you, By the way my 4Runner is broken, I have to change the Crankshaft, the part is comming from Florida, so I am going to be out of circulation for some days.
My 4Runner is about 95.000 milles, żI dont understand why the Crankshaft is broken?
