Speedometer Problem
 

Hi, I have a 1992 4Runner and the speedometer some times work, and some thimes do not, almost the time it do not work.

Please give me some advice on how can I fix it.

Thanks

Rena,
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?

Guys, is the second gen a speedo cable or electric?

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.

Thanks all of you, I am new with Toyota brand, I just bougth my 4Runner 1 and a half month ago and I am happy with it.

Here in Ecuador there are a lot of places to go out of road, I used to have a Cherokee, but the 4 Runner is much better.

Regards,

Renato.

By the way I bougth a Chiltons manual I will receive it very soon, I want to buy the owners manual, but here in Ecuador it is impossible.

Yup, you're a natural. Another soul saved, hallelujah!

Can you order an factory service manual from a US dealer? I'm not sure if you can get it in espanol, but you might want to email TOR, here on the boards. He is a parts guy for a dealer in texas. Maybe he can send you one, and maybe even a spanish one.

92+ are electric for sure....and my dads 93 just did same thing eventualy it just died....

Last year........... :hillbill:

Hey Rena-

Well i have a code 14 and 42
is there a way to test the VSS i have it sitting infront of me now but i looked on that online thing and couldnt find a page with it...now i gotta search for this ignition problem gah

From Ecuador? Awesome.

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, ¿I dont understand why the Crankshaft is broken?

The crank shaft is broken? how is that posssible?!

I mean is in bad condition, not broken, I need to change it.
