I had a similar problem problem with my camry 1999, with a little research I got the problem solves. The first thing I did was to change the speedometer clock/cluster completely, u can get 1 to buy from between 6k - 8k, do a complete change. if after dat u still notice the speedometer clock (not odometer) itself malfunctioning at high speed then u need to change the speed sensor ( its located on the gear box) it cost between 3k - 6k depending on your source. after this your car will be fine!. for some people after changing the speedometer clock everything will work for others till u change both. so goodluck!

Thanks very much sir.
I did change the speedometer clock (whole unit before. It worked fine for one month and the problem reappeared. From your advice, I will change the speed sensor.
Are u in portharcourt?

before you start to buy any parts ,scan the car first and check for P500 codes and check for abs wheel speed sensor malfunction.
Depending on the model of Camry ,some get their speedometer signal for abs sensor and some get theirs from the vss(vehicle speed sensor ) on the transmission .Find out which category your car belong to before swapping any sensor!!!

Thanks. I did a scan before now. And it was shown ABS. The ABS LIGHT still showing up till now. But the electrician I took the car to said ABS showing up on the dashboard is not a problem.
So do you thinks this problem with my car could be ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. or I should do a scan again

Do a scan again and try to fix the ABS issue .Scanning Camry 2000 ABS might require much more skill cos it is obd1 system ,your electrician might not be equiped to do better justice in diagnosing the ABS issue .Seek for a professional around your area that can fix this .

I went to see an auto scanner this morning,. At first he asked me to disconnect the ABS socket inside the bonnet, then he told me to drive it and check if the gear will select. This I did and the gear was selecting well. He then said there is no need to scan, that I should go and replace the ABS MODULE. now am confused.

No need to scan because he doesn't know to diagnose ABS on obd1 ,and he doesn't understand how those system relate to one another ,just an excuse to cover up for his ignorance!!!kazeem is just everywhere !!!

Vehicle speed signal not available

Re: Speedometer Stops Working, Odometer Reading Wipe Off, Toyota Camry 1999 by hidee20(m): 1:57pm On Jan 21, 2020

Vehicle speed signal not available

It's present but do you think increase in temperature can make it fail till there is a drop in temperature?.

Note that I mentioned signal not the availability of sensor ,It is present doesn't mean it is producing it's intended signal .VSS produces square signal and u need equipment that view the waveform to see it

I didn't say u shd change sensor just like that , I am totally against part changing without getting to the root of issues ,the procedure is this :
troubleshoot first ,checking for the expected signal and from their ,u will the know the next agenda to follow .Let a professional technician handle this job for you cos it is beyond diy and mere scanning -hunting for dtc codes .

Just got back online and I know this is late but it might help another person later.
I did a lot of research online and offline before I changed the speedometer in the instrument cluster and that solved my issue but just as autologic has advised it's a system consisting of different parts and components and any of the components might be culprit.
