Are you certain that the correct size of tire is on the truck? A smaller tire will cause the speedometer to register faster speed. If it does have the correct size, the speed sensor would be the cheapest place to start. If that does not fix the problem I would think the speedometer head might need to be either replaced or calibrated.

Testimonial: "Same size tire as when purchased. Speeds reads 70, GPS reads 62. Needle always works smoothly, always shows steady increase or decrease IAW input from gas pedal. Thought maybe sensor, although working, might not b e accurate.. Have ordered new sensor. If it fixes the problem - great, if not - scratch and keep at it. Thanks for your input. Jim"

SOURCE: Road speed sensor

So the diagnostic code says the speed sensor is bad in the transmission? Make sure all the wires are tight to the transmission and in good shape. If they are you probably need to replace the sensor. If the transmission controller doesn't get the correct speed values it would cause some problems shifting. Wiring to a transmission can cause faults since the wires are subjected to heat and vibration. If you can't find any problems with the wiring or the wiring connectors it just might be the sensor is bad (stuff fails).
I do have to say that I am not sure what G-68 means. The diagnostic codes are usually five digit numbers with maybe a letter.

SOURCE: location of speed sensor on 2004 silverado automatic transmission

the speed sensor is located generally on the tailshaft housing or in other words where the driveshaft slides into transmission has a small black sensor with a couple of wires going to it. those trucks have a bad problem with the cluster going out on them though. more than likely that is going to be your problem. you have to take cluster to dealership (new one) and they have to burn the current mileage into it.

I have a 1999 nissan frontier with a 3.3 automatic 4x4. At idle the rpms are at about 1200 to 1400. At 60 mph the rpms are at 3200. Is this normal or is there something i can do to fix this?

There is no connection between the idle revs and revs at speed .The revs for 60 mph sound about right but the idle revs are controlled by the idle speed sensor and various other sensors Have the fault codes read Replace the faulty units with
genuine one because most aftermarket units are not set for OEM cpu units and are not completely compatible.

Changed speed sensors in 03 silverado but speedometer still reads incorect?

I have a 2005 Silverado and around 75,000 miles the speedometer started malfunctioning. It would go to max speed, then everytime I started the engine it would step down about 5 mph until it finally reached normal. It would be ok for a while and then do it again. I found out there is a known problem with the speedometer. Depending on age of vehicle and mileage some of the repair cost is covered. You have to pull the whole dash unit and replace it. Dealer only, as they have to get a documented replacement with correct mileage. You may have a different problem but worth checking.

1990 Honda Accord. Speedoometer is WAAAY off--going 15 mph the speedometer barely moves, yet 55 mph shows up as 80 mph. But the odometer reads correctly--even at "80"mph I can guage the speed off...

The speed sensor is malfunctioning on the transmission.I would not fix it as a result of the age of the car.Simply use a GPS for a more accurate speed

2002 toyota camary speedometer and odometer readings, on my 2002 camary LE my speedometer reads 70 mph but actualy i'm going around 67mph, and as for the odometer on meassured mile i checked on a 10 mile...

have you changed the tires or rims from the original size?? If so, your vehicle's ECU will need to be re-calibrated so that the computer will adapt to these changes.

1998 honda accord speedometer wrong

I I recently went to a government speed awareness workshop (naughty boy!) and asked why all the cars I have recently driven (Vaux Zafira, Vectra, Astra, Honda Accord, Peugeot 106) were indicating a higher speed than my sat-nav. The answer they gave was that car manufacturers will always do this to err on the side of caution for boot-heavy drivers or drivers who neglect to check tyre pressures, so that in a court case they have one less thing to worry about. All these cars indicated about 5-10% over.
