This is an awesome video. Thank you for clear directions on how to remove the speed sensor. My issue was that my speedometer needle was fluctuating at all speed and sometimes hesitating to accelerate or transmission won't shift gear smoothly. Before I change the sensor, I wanted to test to see how it works. I looked everywhere to find a way to test the sensor and I couldn't find one. Finally I found a copy of the service manual and was able to troubleshoot the sensor. I will list out below my method. How to test No. 1 Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). ***Need a voltmeter to perform this test. 1. Remove the sensor from the vehicle. 2. There are three screws on top of the sensor when facing the connector. They are placed in a triangular pattern. When you look down on the connector, single screw must be on top. That is your popularity mark. From this orientation, Left PIN =1 is battery POSITIVE, middle PIN = 2 is battery negative, and right PIN = 3 is SIGNAL. 3. Connect the battery to the sensor. Battery positive to PIN 1 and negative to PIN 2. 4. Place the voltmeter's position lead to PIN 3 and negative lead to PIN 2. 5. Rotate the sensor gear shaft. The voltage will change from 0 to 12 to 0 Volts on the voltmeter. If it doesn't change the value, sensor is faulty.
I was able to change my 98 Toyota Camry's speed sensor today thanks to your very detailed instructions. 98 Camry is almost exactly the same and I already took it for a test drive and everything is working perfectly. Thank you very much for saving me time and money.
this is the ONLY place i have found that actually describes where the sensor is and the issues with aftermarket part. I so appreciate this video and weylinfairchild for posting it. I would add though for a correct fit after grinding off the tab and know a machinist take your old sensor so they can measure the diameter of it and machine the replacement on center to fit properly. Tolerance on the part can be + or - .015 of an inch because it has an oring so it should be cheap to have turned down. Again thank you very much for posting this weylinfairchild!!!!!!!!!!!!
This video saved me a TON of time, money, and frustration! Kudos to you sir!!!!!!!! I owe you a beer! Same part, and similar location on a 2001 camry. Your tip about sanding the piece was spot on!!!!!!
I'm preparing to replace the speed sensor and connector on my '98 Toyota Picnic and this video is a massive help. The guidance and images are really clear and I love the tip about sanding the sensor. Awesome vid. Thank you!!!
Weylin!! THIS VIDEO IS SO FREAKIN' PERFECT. thank you, thank you, thank you! I was literally about to drive my car to the mechanic because I couldn't get at the sensor. And the part where you talk about what you had to do to the sensors to get them to fit? Holy crap. I am literally yelling to my wife about how useful this video is.
i bought one for 96 camry v6. looks very identical from the original, but also had same problem. it wont fit, thanks to this video, i will use 320 grit sandpaper. got mine at amazon. $10
YES THIS IS FANTASTIC. After watching the video from 1A Auto I was about to take the damn thing to the shop because they want you under the car. Why they didn’t just say to remove the air box is beyond me. THANK YOU!
Hello my friend, excuse me my english, I have a camry 92 6 cyl motor 3vz, the speed sensor connector was roasted and I broke, the cables mixed, you know what the order of each? The ocnector has 1-2-3 cable. One of 12 volts, one to ground and another, I guess of return signal
will this fix my 1996 toyota camry automatic trans, 2.2L Its throwing a P0500 code the car does not go forward in any gears but it can go backwords. When in any forward gears it just revs the engine.
I've got 1995 had a starting problem so I changed the distributor and now transmission not working I have P R U light when I put it in drive the light goes off someone please help
Just got the hold of a 1993 v6 camry. Speed meter and rpm meter dosent work but the mileage still goes up. what can be the issue? can anybody help please? Thanks
Areeb Uddin you need to replace the capacitors on both the tachometer and speedometer. They have a history of blowing after about 16 years. The tach has two 10uf 25 volt capacitors and the speedo has a 6.8uf , 22uf, and a 100uf 25 volt capacitors. They cost about $3.00 usd without shipping.
Thanks for this video! My speedometer has been slowing down for years and I didn't know what the part was I needed to order. This helps a lot! My tachometer stopped working 10+ years ago. Same kind of sensor?
Hello, I just repaired my tachometer on my 1993 camry. There are 2 capacitors (10uf/25volt) that needed to be replaced. There is another lady with a youtube channel called sarahntuned. She did an awesome video on how to identify, desolder, and resolder the capacitors. After 10+ years my tach is finally working. It only cost me 25 cents per capacitor at my local electronics shop. Might be a dollar each if you order online. There is another youtuber named Peter Finn who shows how to remove the dash. Only took me 5 minutes to remove the dash with just a screwdriver. There are two screws hiding underneath a cover located under the radio that he didn't show, but easy to find. Hope this helps!
Yes, in this instance it fixed the fluctuating of the speedometer. I think sometimes it can be a motor in gauge cluster getting worn out but you can pick those up on eBay. Hope that helps.

How did you connect the battery to the sensor?

This was Awesome! Thank for posting!
Very clear and understandable..nice job🤟

@@jonhare392 I am also experiencing the same problem as described by Areeb. Are the capacitors located on the dashboard themselves?
Terry Giang you have yo remove the instrument panel and the capacitors are on the speedo and tachometer
Is that p1705?
Is this the Speedo Sensor OR the RPM sensor?
My Camry 2004. The problem is revase ok but foward cant not. The mileage 200.000 up.

Hey there I put a” sensor on my 1988 Toyota camery and it didn’t work? On” the v6 what is the problem?
did changing speed sensor fix the problem??
Yes, in this instance it fixed the fluctuating of the speedometer. I think sometimes it can be a motor in gauge cluster getting worn out but you can pick those up on eBay. Hope that helps.
Just removed my speed sensor 1995 camry 2.2 original part. I bought it new. sensor diameter .8656. 22mm = .8661 .0005 larger.
The engine is 5S FE engine not 5F SE man
That's got to do would not be made in America no more
