Mitsubishi Lancer speedometer stuck at 60 mph regardless of speed changes
Some Mitsubishi Lancer owners report experiencing issues with their speedometer getting stuck at 60 mph, regardless of actual speed changes. This problem may be attributed to Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) faults, which can lead to inaccurate speed readings. Additionally, electrical issues within the speedometer system have been reported, necessitating expert diagnosis and repair. Some owners have noted that mechanical obstructions within the speedometer mechanism can cause it to freeze, with temporary fixes sometimes achieved by tapping on the dashboard. Furthermore, a solution for some owners has involved replacing the converter associated with the speedometer drive gear, typically at a cost of around £100, which may be covered under warranty. Inaccurate speed readings can also be a significant frustration for owners, prompting the need for professional assistance to resolve the issue. It is recommended that affected owners have their vehicles inspected by a qualified mechanic to address these concerns.
My car went into "failsafe" mode and engine light came on. Took it to a mechanic and it was speed sensor malfunction, he replaced one and drove it around and it did the same thing. He replaced the other one and still did the same thing. Now he looked at electrical system and seemed fine, can't find the issue. Suggested to replace the instrument panel because speedometer would fluctuate from time to time. Would replacing the TCM possibly fix this? It just seems like something is shorting the sensors everytime he replaces them. Please help! I'm currently stationed in Germany and it's hard to find a mechanic who's knowledgeable in japanese cars.
