How to block the speedo sensor on a JC5

[_Tom]

Hello guys

As mine is a 182 it doensnt have a speedo sensor how do you go about blocking them if you fit say a cup box? Is there a guide somewhere? When i mentioned this to my mate who's helping me fit this he got a little unsure..

Is there a guide or any pics anywhere?

Keep the sensor in the hole!?

Have you checked it doesnt have one first? its a myth if you ask me (my 172 none cup 100% has one and has abs), only place you can read speed from consistantly is the GB.

My mid-03 ESP 172 doesn't have a speedo sensor, so there you go

Woah sorry for asking what may seem a silly question to you.. I have no knowledge when it comes to this and didnt know it was that simple. Thanks though.

Well i think it doesnt. Its a 182 so i beleive non of these have a speed sensor on the box. However the box im looking at does anyway so regardless, i should be fine.

No it's not. Any of the ABS cars have 4 wheel speed sensors so you simply calculate the median of those 4 values and use that as vehicle speed. Very accurate and provides multiple backup for sensor failures against loss of vehicle speed.

Ok i stand corrected, mine 100% has a GB sensor, one i can see it and i had ABS problems and the clip told me 3/4 were duff (was major wiring issue), but no issues with speedo even tho the ABS thought i was skidding constantly under braking. I have no idea why it has both, but im glad it does lol

This is how all the ph2 172's are down here in oz up till they fitted esp. Trying to work out how to get the speedo working via the abs using the clip, I have been able to change the config of the dash but there must be something else that needs changing too. That or the wiring is different.
