98 Camry LE V6 Speedometer/Odometer and transmission shifting issue

The speedometer and odometer stop working then start working with no discernable pattern. Speedometer needle moves quickly up and down and odometer blinks on and off then both stop working completely. When it comes back on it does the same thing...needle jumps and odometer blinks. When the Speedo/Odo stop working the the transmission does not shift properly. Is it the the instrument cluster, the ECU or both the problem?

    Also, the Check Engine light goes on an off intermittantly.

If the speedo is not sending a speed the trans will go into back up mode and the trans will not shift normally check the speed sensor

That type of speedometer has a sensor and plastic gear attached to it in the trans. Most of the time the gear is worn out replace the gear and all should be fine.

SOURCE: speedo, odometer and fuel gauge don't work

You probably have a sporadic fuse failure - go in and replace the fuses linked to these functions with NEW fuses and make sure there is no corrosion on the fuse box connections - this should solve.

SOURCE: instrument cluster does not work.

check the relays under the kick panel on drivers side...maybe switch them around and see if that works....sometimes corrolas will do the same thing.check the ones under the hood also.

Why ford escort wagon 98 odometer not workind, speedometer OK?

If the speedometer works but the odometer does not, the problem is inside the speedometer. Probably a stripped gear.

1995 toyota camry speedometer not working

If the odometer is incrementing mileage, the speedometer unit itself has failed. If the odometer is not incrementing, either the speedometer cable has broken or come disconnected (most likely), or the cog inside the transmission has become damaged.

My odometer has been at the same mileage after a full day of driving.

The nylon gear that drives the speedometer cable has probably failed. This gear is mounted on the transmission.

My guess would be the speedometer has failed. Both the speedometer and odometer use the same speed sensor in the transmission.
