2010 Dodge - Journey SXT - 3.5L, V6, 260.000 km
I'm happy to ETRANSFER some money if we find the culprit!
Main problem: Speedometer doesn't work when driving
* it's reading more less correctly first 3~5 mins after starting, goes to 0 mph after
* it's moving on an instrument cluster check
* it's moving randomly after the engine starts and sometimes in high speeds
* it's moving a little bit when the car is revving (looks like the car has these "fluctuations")
* also many icons on my cluster don't work (see pic down)
I've tried:
1. Changing Vehicle speed sensor (VSS) - didn't fix, back old one
2. Changing Front left Wheel Sensor - didn't fix, back old one
>> Each shop basically tried one of each sensors, didn't help, sent me home.
Notes:
- car is shifting fine
- battery voltage seems fine at 14V, also AC on 30 mV
- this problem started to appear after a bad battery had to be jump-started many times (brand new battery now)
- car seldomly shuts down in low speed (like 1st gear) after driving in highway speeds
- got these codes from stores:
U1417 Implausible Left Wheel Distance Signal Received
P0501 Vehicle Speed Sensor 1 Performance
*Plus my reader*: U1412: Implausible Vehicle Speed Signal Received
Thank you brothers for any ideas, I'm desperate.
