Your speedo sensor is in the rear differential. Could be that or wiring. The wires tend to break close to the plug. My guess would be the wires as it was erratic at first. Sensors like those usually work or they don't.

What does it mean when service engine soon is on in my 99 jimmy?

Not related. The service engine soon lite is operated by the speedometer, so it's just coincidence that it came on soon after the water pump repair.

"Service" light just started coming on over the weekend. It comes on, stays on for about 5-10 minutes, then goes off. The other lights - check engine (I think), oil, etc. - come on when I turn on the car...

The light is set to light by milage and it is to let you know that the next service is due. This is reset by removing the rubber grommet that is to the left lower corner of the speedometer and depress the reset button.

I have a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero. What does it mean when the anti brake light, service engine soon, and traction off light comes on at the same time?

I am assuming its not the service engine soon light it is probably the service vehicle soon light, There are 2 lights service vehicle soon upper left side, and service engine soon upper right side.

When all these come on at the same time it is the wheel bearing sensor. Usually the wheel bearing needs to be replaced which houses the sensor. A sure way to check is to press your sls button by your shifter and see if the light goes out, If it does not, u will need to have a wheel bearing put in.

My 2002 Intrigue's speedometer does not work. However, the odometer and tach still do. The service engine light is on as well. Could it be the sensor and if so where is it located?

If it's the service "vehicle" soon instead of the service "engine" soon, it could be the vehicle speed sensor which is in the transmission case where the differential lives, right over where the right axle goes into the transmission.

Transmission and Service Engine Soon light

it might be your vehicle speed sensor. It affects your speedometer, your cruise control and your trans shift points. Also, your throttle position sensor (TPS) affects shift points.

Speedometer not working service engine soon light on

I would guess there is a relation between the inop speedo and the service soon light being on. Push OFF and WARM on the climate control panel and hold down together for 5 sec to read codes.engine and transmission require speed input to set engine/trans parameters accordingly. The car car is safely performing in a back up mode until repairs are made
