2003 Camry Speedometer reads 150 mph constantly.

I've got a 2003 Toyota Camry SE 4 cyl 5 speed.

I changed the battery, All I did was change the battery. Now the speedometer is reading about 150 mph, the numbers stop at 140 mph. It reads 150 mph even with the engine shut off and the key removed.

Is there some way to reset this or should I be looking for a loose wire, etc?

    That's what happened with my car, but it took a few days. I had tried disconnecting the batteryfor a time then hooking it back up. It didn't change but a few days later I was driving and looked down and the speedometer was working,

How to replace a fog light bulb on a 2004 Toyota Camry

Video Description
The video above shows how to change the fog light bulb in your 2004 Toyota Camry. Not all models have fog lights - for many Toyotas, it depends on your trim level (XLE) or whether the fog light option was ordered when your Camry was manufactured. Fog lights are typically in the front bumper, below the headlight cluster and are helpful in poor visibility. If one fog light is burnt out on your Camry, we recommend changing both bulbs because the working bulb will be dimmer than the one you replaced and will likely burn out soon anyway.

When you change the foglight on your Camry, be careful not touch the glass part of the bulb with your fingers which causes the bulb to burn out earlier.

Need to change out the camshaft sensor on a 2005 camry. Where is it.

Since the cam sensor reads the cam position, depending on if you have a 4 cyl or a V6 engine, the sensor should be on one end of the cylinder head.

2002 CAMRY LE automatic transmission. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH P0500 CODE comes on intermittently. Can feel a small **** when speed hits 10 mph and then at 20 mph. Took to a service station and mechanic...

It maybe your speed sensor. Which is mounted on the transmission by one bolt. It should be near a cv axle (I would imagine). They run anywhere from a little over 100 to about 220.

2002 toyota camary speedometer and odometer readings, on my 2002 camary LE my speedometer reads 70 mph but actualy i'm going around 67mph, and as for the odometer on meassured mile i checked on a 10 mile...

have you changed the tires or rims from the original size?? If so, your vehicle's ECU will need to be re-calibrated so that the computer will adapt to these changes.
