Dash lights on and speedo unresponsive, help!

[Andy219]

Hi guys,

I was just driving home when this happened...

Rev counter works as normal but speedo does nothing.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,

Andy.

I assume its a wheel speed sensor or something similar. Need to read codes really, get yourself the kit to do it.

Used a maxiscan OBD reader and no codes came up :?

It's normally battery related when you have this type of thing happen

Did you manage to get this fixed? I seem to have the exact same warning lights and speedo problem.

I had this around a month ago - its battery related - had no OBD issues, swapped battery as the voltage was less than perfect and voila.. fixed!

Could also be abs sensor if the setup is anything like the E46. Rear NS (might have OS but can't remember now) abs sensor also ran the feed for the speedometer. It was a simple fix of replacing the sensor and all done. It was interesting as I noticed while it was broken I could drive around (using sat nav as a speedometer) and the millage wouldn't go up. Bit naughty I thought.

Did you lose the speedo too?

you may have sorted this already but yes, I was getting intermittent speedo (which is a bizarre fault to go with electrical issues!)
