Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / April 200496 Maxima Malfunction Indicator Lamp On - Vehicle Speed Sensor
I recently (3 weeks ago) had the Vehicle Speed Sensor replaced because the MIL was on and the ECU readout readout showed that it was bad. After driving the car about 15 miles the MIL came on again and shows the same problem. If I look at a wiring diagram it shows that the Vehicle Speed Sensor drives the speedometer directly; from there a wire goes to the ECU. It could be broken or have a bad contact, but working your way through the wiring harness is a nightmare. However, if I can get to the ECU I can check the wire for continuity with a meter. The ECU appears to be located just below the ashtray in the front center console. Here is my question: What is the easiest way to get to the ECU connector without having to tear the entire dash apart? Any tips would be appreciated.

If replacement is the only option, does that mean I have to replace the whole cluster, or is the head a separate piece? Approximate cost? Thanks. > the speedometer head is bad and needs to be replaced > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > dash apart?

The speedometer will suddenly just zero out on me for a few minutes at a time and all of the sudden will come back on and everything will function properly. I have also attempted to check the continuity of the voltage flow and have become stuck at the same problem: is the problem the whole instrument panel cluster or can something be salvaged. If you have found a solution, please let me know. I will do the same. |
