Speed sensor location

Post by foolishnotion » Sun Apr 25, 2010 12:00 pm

HI, can anyone tell me where I will find this as I think it needs replacing. The hold light flashing without any codes being shown so I've narrowed it down to this as a hopefully cheap and easy thing to try fixing. Any other ideas would be appreciated. No drive problems aside from losing the functionality of the hold button.

Aside from checking the speed sensor, any other suggestions?

And dont forget to tell me where I will find it!

Thanks

As WW says, check the factsheet on obtaining fault codes if you haven't already, also do a search on the forum on "flashing and hold" could be alternator or speedo chip if you have one?
How fast were you going? ie do you know if you went into limp mode & lost the lock up function of the gear box that kicks in around 40mph?

This may help find the speed sensor - http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... or#p330699
