3. Electrical Issues: Electrical issues, such as a blown fuse, damaged wiring, or poor connections, can disrupt the communication between the VSS, the speedometer, and the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU).
5. Failed Speedometer: In rare cases, the speedometer itself can malfunction, causing it to stop working. This could be due to mechanical wear, internal component failure, or a faulty circuit board.
6. Transmission Issues: In some instances, transmission problems can affect the accuracy or functionality of the speedometer. For example, a slipping transmission may result in incorrect speed readings.
8. Problems with the ABS System: If the vehicle has an anti-lock braking system (ABS), issues with the ABS sensors or control module can sometimes interfere with the speedometer's operation.
9. ECU Malfunction: The ECU is the central electronic controller in the vehicle and is responsible for processing various data, including speed information. A fault within the ECU can affect the speedometer's functionality.
