My 1999 Camry ODO Not Working Well by fecremmy(m): 8:20am On Jan 23, 2015
I seek your advice on what line of action to in fixing my 1999 camry odo (mileage).
It has been working perfectly until recently when I changed gear. Since then, I noticed the mileage number intermittently disappear and sometimes takes about 20mins to come up if I put off the engine.
I have engaged the service of my rewire whom I trust to an extent and after trying what he could confess to me that I should look for those rewire that works on the gear.
I further asked him to recommend someone to me but said he could not because most of those people doing the work are not trust worthy and he does not want to get involved.
I understand this could easily affect the gear as I sensed this anytime I am on speed and the mileage went blank, the engine system will change immediately.
I really need your advice to enable me fix this problem as fast as possible as the car is my main source of movement.

Await your usual advice.

Thank you,

Does it go blank on the display? Or stops reading speed?
Re: My 1999 Camry ODO Not Working Well by fecremmy(m): 10:31am On Jan 23, 2015
It does go blank and whenever it comes up, it shows continuous reading.

Have you tried running a scan? Is your Abs light on?
Re: My 1999 Camry ODO Not Working Well by fecremmy(m): 11:15am On Jan 23, 2015
@mayor2013: I am not sure Camry 1999 has this Abs. If it has, I dont know where it is located.

Since you said the problem started when you changed your gearbox, then I will assume the speed sensor is responsible (even though I don't see any reason why it goes blank) fit the old speed sensor on your old gear box to the new one and see if it fixes the problem.

For a camry 1999-2000 it has nothing to do with your abs.

Yes I concur a vss could cause that. It is usually located on the gear box towards the drive shaft region

@ GAZZUZZ:
Thank you for the advice. I will discuss with the mechanic that changed the old gear to help me find the speed sensor. However, i presumed I will have to get another one if he has mis placed the previous one for i did not bother to carry the replaced gear from him. If I then need to get another one, how can I go about it to enable me get the original one.
I can be reached on 08035214399.

Thank you,

How far? Have you changed the sensor? If yes, what's the situation now.

well most likely your electrician has damage your instrument cluster, take it to qualify technician who has diagosis skill or call 08038042709 for better info.

I disagree.
Re: My 1999 Camry ODO Not Working Well by Nobody: 9:16pm On Jan 31, 2015
I guess your gear slips when then odo is blank

If that's the case, leave your gearbox and speed sensor alone. Change your instrument cluster. You can get one from a scrapyard, or tell your mech to get one for you.

Should cost <N7k

I had a similar experience and that's what worked for me. There could be other solutions

Thank you all. I have changed the speed sensor early on Sunday and the car worked well all day but started again this morning while coming to work. Need your input please.

Thank you,
