I dare say it was never hooked up properly. So it wouldnt matter if cluster works or not.
Nearly no one bothers with it since the ecu doesnt really need it.
Insert witty comment here....
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (FKN16v @ Sep 18 2008, 07:09 PM) </div>Sad but true, and its even made super easy to put into an ADM AE86, there is a speed sensor there already. Not so lucky with the E7's though.
The ECU sets the rev limit lower if no speed sensor is connected too.
Haven't had any problems with lower rev limit in mine. Stills revs to just under 8k.
So obviously this part was connected but when the cluster shat itself that did too, hence engne light. Hairy muff.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Dish @ Sep 20 2008, 08:49 AM) </div>Yep I'd say you're probably on the money there, if it did still red line at the proper rpm before the trouble then it sounds like it is wired properly. But obviously, non working speedo = no speed sensor reading.
What suprised the fuck out of me this arvo. Getting onto the Highway heading southbound from Ormeau is a nice downhill sweeper which is the onramp. While hitting that pretty hard the speedo actually started working again. Counting k's etc. It then stopped again when I stopped somewhere else. According to my GPS and the rpm it was reading correctly too.
