Note: This explanation and steps are made specifically for the mentioned model and vehicle year.
Prepare your car:
>* Locate the speedometer sensor on the transmission housing. It is usually a small, cylindrical sensor with a wire attached.
Disconnect the battery:
* Disconnect the negative terminal of your car battery to avoid any electrical accidents during the process.
Remove the sensor:
>* Once located, clean the area around the speedometer sensor with a degreaser or similar solvent to remove dirt and grime that may make unscrewing the sensor difficult.
>* Disconnect the electrical connector attached to the sensor.
* Use a wrench or socket to loosen and remove the sensor from the transmission housing.
Install the new sensor:
>* Apply a small amount of sealant or gasket maker (supplied in a kit) around the threads of the new sensor.
* Screw in the new sensor by hand until it is snug.
>* Connect the electrical connector to the new sensor.
>* Tighten the sensor using a wrench or socket to the recommended torque (check the vehicle's repair manual).
Re-connect Battery and Test:
>* Re-connect the negative terminal of your car battery.
>* Start your vehicle and check if the speedometer is working correctly.
>* Ensure that there are no leaks from the sensor's installation site.
Additional tips:
* Replace the sensor's O-ring if the old one is damaged or leaking.
* If the speedometer is still not working correctly after installing a new sensor, you may have to check for other issues, such as a faulty wiring connection or a problem with the instrument cluster.
