Speedometer freezes at 70 km/hour

I have a Mitsubishi Galant S/W V6 1998 manual gear 120 kW. The speedometer freezes at 70 km/hour. My idea is that the speedometer or the speed sensor are damaged or it is an electrical wire problem. What you think the problem can be? Can anybody tell me where I can find the speed sensor?

Its located in the air filter housing....The volume air flow sensor also incorporates the barometric pressure sensor and the air intake sensor....If you are replacing either of these sensors replace the volume airflow sensor.......

The next thing would be to test the output of the speed sensor, if there is not a signal from sensor then you could have a problem in transmission or more likely with the speedometer itself. There will be a code set in the Computer for an inoperative speed sensor or signal from the speed sensor. You can go to Autozone to get the computer checked with a code reader for free. If code P0500 is set then diagnose this code first.

Could be either or, or it could be neither. Is the "red light" a transmission temperature warning light? If so, the fluid is over heating and the heat sensor is turning the light on...Check fluid level and the condition of your fluid...if it's off colored and smells burnt, you better have it flushed, refilled and a new filter installed. Heat will kill a transmission faster than anything.
Check the transmission cooler, most montero's had a cooler installed on the front of the vehicle by the radiator...the cooling fins need to be clean, no bugs or debris so air flows through it. Have your vehicle scanned also, if you had a transmission code the computers memory will probably still have it stored, this will be helpful with further diagnosis.

Odometer speedometer display not working

Hi Dennis,I am not sure if your vehicle has a cable driven speedometer or it is electronic.I would first inspect the driven gear/transducer at the transmission. Sometimes acid from battery leakage can corrode terminals at the transducer.

Speedometer wont work

Most cars have one main vehicle speed sensor (vss). The VSS in front wheel drive cars is mounted in the transmission. A gear in the tranny turns a small gear on the VSS. If a tooth of the gear on the VSS is damaged, you can get that erratic speedometer jumping like you're experiencing. A malfunctioning VSS can cause problems with shifting and with the activation of the anti-lock braking system and cruise control. Have a Transmission shop inspect your VSS and replace if necessary, if your handy with tools. you can buy the VSS and replace you self. The speed sensors on the Galant are called pulse generators and need to be replace as a set. Located outside of the transmission right on top.
Good luck!

I have a 2007 Ford Explorer with a speedometer error

Changing tires to another size than what was originally sent on the vehicle can change the accuratcy of the speedometer. To fix this requires changing the gear where the speedometer enters the transmission. The gears you change are probably a dealer item and they could tell you which one you need.
