2008 camry speedometer stopped working

[tonyizhurr]

i was driving on the 22 freeway yesterday and i wanted to see how fast i was going and i looked down and the speedometer was at 0! i kinda freaked out and so i took an exit and luckily there was a toyota dealer nearby. so i took it there to get it checked out and after an hour at the dealer they said it might've been because i installed an amp for my subs and that could've ruined the ecu or some bullshit.

once in a while my brake light and abs lights come on out of no where, but yesterday the brake light, abs, and my speedometer just stayed at 0. its weird.

i recorded the speedometer being at 0 while i was driving

could i somehow sue them because this is pretty dangerous

i can upload the video i recorded if you guys want.

has this happened to anyone???

No, (Not Yet).

The amp that you installed, was there any wiring under the dash? Where did you connect the source and the on trigger to?

The brake, ABS, and speedometer all come from the wheels I believe, I'm surprised they didn't say anything about your aftermarket rims possibly causing the issue.

Wiring the Amp got to do nothing with the ecu, wiring the amp just use a power wire straight to the battery.

Bad VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor). This would cause all those lights to be on, and the speedometer not working.

On the CAMRY the ABS monitors all 4 wheels, then send the corrected pulses to the speedometer. Sounds like in this case, the ABS is failing, hence the ABS light (and maybe the brake light, too).

Could be the Skid Control ECU.

Easy to check by the dealer hooking up their Intelligent Tester.

could it be because i didnt install the tpms into my aftermarket rims?

i dont ryan. could that be a problem why my speedometer, abs, and brake light turn on?

sorry to be off topic, but i saw your pictures of your car and i love your car. did you get your fog lights off ebay also?

does this mean that the odometer stays the same as well?
