access instrument cluster connector & speedo sensor troubleshooting
 

Here is some good directions to troubleshoot speed sensor... but how is
instrument cluster connector accessed?

A. Disconnect the speed sensor connector.

B. Connect a voltmeter between the black wire pin of the connector and
ground.

C. Turn ignition key to the RUN position.

D. If the voltage reading is not approximately 5 volts, turn ignition
key OFF, then check for continuity between the speed sensor connector
and terminal 13 of the instrument cluster connector.


E. If continuity exists, replace the speedometer. If no continuity
exists, repair the open circuit.

First off what are you trying to fix?

Second, no one here is a mind reader or knows you so we have no clue
what you are driving. (let alone lots of us do own more than one type
of Jeep)

And third if it is a YJ you are talking about, why don't you just pull
the codes and see what the computer 'thinks' is wrong?

Re: access instrument cluster connector & speedo sensor troubleshooting
 

First off what are you trying to fix?

[ Speedometer in this instance... but also stalling problem in neutral
After talking to someone you basically have three wires going to sensor
5V source input (black), Gnd, and 5V output to Speedometer / Odometer
gauge. If there is not 5V input then it is probably the wiring or
gauge, if there is 5V in , probably sensor, but If it is not the
sensor, I'm not sure how to access cluster connector]


Second, no one here is a mind reader or knows you so we have no clue
what you are driving. (let alone lots of us do own more than one type
of Jeep)
[ YJ, 1992 Wrangler 4.0L ]


And third if it is a YJ you are talking about, why don't you just pull
the codes and see what the computer 'thinks' is wrong?
[ No experience with reading code... I't sounds like a great
troubleshooting tool, do you need a reading device and where do you
access the port for connection ? Where do I buy one or do I have to
take it to a shop?]
Thanks

I found on eof your posts ... I see they sell "OBD code readers" , I
can purchase one for about $30. Where do you access the cpu port with
the reader on a 92 wrangler?

Thanks
