my friend just finshed rebuilding his wrecked evo 9...all is good but the problem is that the odometer is not working, its not moving at all, could there be a fuse blown(he checked everyone) or maybe a broken plug somwhere? need help asap, this is the only thing holding him back from his inspection, thanks

 

If the speedometer works and the odometer doesn't, it sounds like a problem in the electronics of the gauge assembly. To the best of my knowledge the odometer is just an electronic integration of the speed and I think that is done in an integrated circuit on the gauge assembly, but it may be done in another circuit board. Can he get or borrow a used/working gauge assembly?

 

no, neither one work....

 

i know this seems elementary, but is the speed sensor connected in the transmission? maybe is missing or broken?

 

i know...but where would we even begin lookin for a plug?

 

i believe it's right on the transmission bell housing.

if no one else chimes in, i can send you some info from my factory service manual when i get home tonite...i'll be able to tell you exactly where it is...

 

I'm pretty sure it's right on top of the bell housing as well ... it's fairly obvious as I remember, but I might be recalling the transmission area without the battery try installed.

 

The diagram is not very good, but it appears that the sensor is on the top back corner of the transmission near the transaxle. I doubt it is near the bell housing as I expect it to be connected to the output shaft.
