there is a sensor down near the final drive of the transmission that controls both of these.. it may be bad.. mine is and has been for 3 years now, but still drives..
Your speedometer is controlled from your transaxle which is controlled by the computer. Usually a bad VSS sensor causes the speedometer malfunction. Are you getting any codes?
1. Check the speedometer cable maybe its not properly connected or you need to buy a new one.
2. If your having a problem with the gear check the transmission oil add some if the oil level is low or check the pressure plate and the release bearing and I hardly recommend to visit a good mechanic.
no codes found because your checking the PCM, your problem is you need codes from the TCM,the computer for the transmission,since you replaced the speed sensor the other two things that affect a speedometer and transmission are the input and output sensors,they both screw in the transmission.
Blown Fuse or fried Circuit board. Take to a local AutoZone, Advance, Murray's, O'reillys or a similar part house for them to check the wiring. I'm assuming the van does not use a mechanical Speedometer or Fuel Gauge.
On the plus side, with no speedometer, your indicated odometer mileage does not increase. Just keep your speed down and your tank full. Kidding, just kidding.
common problem on those is the speedometer unit itself. plenty at junk yards or you can have yours rebuilt. first check connections behind the speedometer. they are all electronic, no cables.
sit in the drivers seat close the door. with the key off hold the trip
odometer button in then while holding the button in turn the key on. if
done correctly this will put the MIC (mechanical instrument cluster)
into a self test. if the speedometer does not move like the rest of the
gauges during this test the MIC must be replaced. if the speedometer
does move it is likely your problem will be fixed, however, if the
speedometer does move but it does not start working properly then
further diagnostic will be needed.
hi there try to get a price on the speed sensor located on the transmission this sensor tells the computer how fast the van is going in turn the transmission shifts gears and there will be information sent to the speedometer . the reason the van only goes in low gear is to protect the system because the sensor is damaged so replace the speed sensor and try again , let me know how its running after relpaceing the sensor good luck
