Hicas light on and speedo not working

Hi guys just got in my car 2 night and there was no powerstering as I looked at the dash the hicas light was on and my speedo was not showing my speed it was just on 0 but the rpm and all other gauges was working so I drove 2 the closest petrol station and get some power steering fluid and fill it up but still no change hicas light came back on when I started the car up and still had no powersteering or speedo ???? Can any one help ???

 

Go to the Tech section, under Instruments:

Speedometer & Power Steering - speed sensor signal Repair

This might help.:zlove:

 

If I get another cluster would that fix it instead of messing around resoldering wires ???

 

It could also be your speed sensor.

 

I dont think it would be as I just got a new box put in

 

New box including new sensor? can also be the wring harness from the sensor to the control box. In fact this is my problem right now and I've just ordered a new speed sensor and might have to replace the wiring from it to the control unit. There's a diagnostic procedure in the manual to test the sensor, just remove it and put a multimeter to it to see if its within specs while turning it by hand. Either this or the solder in the speedo needs re-heating for you and I both.

 

It is prob the resolder as when I put my foot down the speedo did a sudden jump 2 my speed that I was doing but the hicas light was still on

 

Yes that's what mine does too and my transmission is also new but the sensor isn't, when I get it in the mail I'll let you know the results.

 

Ok sweet bro

 

The box just got rebuilt and I got it second hand I had the same prob with my old box aswell and I don't think he would have pulled out the speed sensore when he sold it 2 me so I'm guessing it it the cluster

 

Easy job. Cost ya a half carton :rofl:

 

I have looked at all the connections and un plugged and re-plugged every wire that is recognized by the cluster then it started 2 work again .... Get in my car this morning and guess what the cluster speedo is not moving and sterring Is hard again wtf can some one please help as it is really starting 2 p"*s me off and I'm all most ready 2 smash it

 

Ok as driving my car 2 day first noticed the speedo not working then later as driving the speedo started dropping in and out the speedo hicas light was on then I pulled over and switched the car off counted 2 10 and re-started the car and it was still dropping in and out but the hicas light didn't come on so I am really (??????)

 

Ok man I'll first see if it's the cluster so I may try get a 2nd one then if that don't work I'll pull the sensor and give it a look
