How is a speedometer connected?

How is a speedometer connected?

The answer is to use electromagnetism! The shaft that turns the car’s wheels is connected to the speedometer by a long, flexible cable made of twisted wires. The cable is a bit like a mini driveshaft: if one end of the cable rotates, so does the other—even though the cable is long and bendy.

Is there a speedometer cable on a Toyota 93?

The ’93 doesn’t have a speedometer cable! Must be leftover from the previous manual. Click to expand… That’s the source I used for tracing things out. Best electrical diagrams I’ve found to date.

How many wires does the speedometer sensor have?

Besides, the Vehicle Speed Sensor (at the transmission) has three wires comming out of it. I assume this is V+, Ground, and the pulsed signal going to the ECU. The “Vehicle Speed Sensor” on Engine Control Drawing 2 only has 2 wires, the signal it gets from the ECU (4 pulses per revolution of the speedometer sensor, per the FSM) and ground.

What’s the speedometer on a Toyota Prius?

Even on slow takeoff from a stop, the engine would wind out to 3krpm from first to second and second to third, but bog down and shift too early into the high gears.
