Does anyone know if the Speedo signal goes thru the ECU? Iv spoken to 2 auto electricians and one said it does, the other says it doesn't lol

@BlackVXGTS might have a file of the wiring for it?

And Saint @BlackVXGTS raised the Holy service manual up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy Holy Service Manual, that with it thou mayst blow thy speedo problems to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas...

(At this point, Brother @BlackVXGTS’s Brother is interrupted by @Immortality himself, who tells him "Skip a bit, Brother." @BlackVXGTS Brother continues.)

"And the Lord spake, saying, ''First shalt thou take out the Holy Service Manual. Then shalt thou count to twenty, no more, no less. Twenty shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be twenty. Twenty one shalt thou not count, neither count thou nineteen, excepting that thou then proceed to twenty. Twenty two is right out. Once the number twenty, being the twentieth number, be reached, then open thou thy Holy Service Manual of Antioch towards thy speedo, who, being naughty in My sight, shall solve it.'

Whilst thy reads from the book of Armaments, chapter 2, verses 9-21 of the VS Service Manual from post 20.

UPDATE- Just got my car back from auto Electrician, as mentioned earlier, Speedo cluster repaired as it was faulty,
Speedo sensor also replaced as it was faulty. All wiring checked, the Pins of the Plugs cluster goes into checked are all good.

He's convinced it's the ECU that's the issue, also mentioned a week earlier he had a VS 5L Calais come in and his Diagnostic scanner worked with that car and he was able to clear codes.

When he plugs his diagnostic scanner into my car it does not communicate with it, next step is finding an ECU I guess.

I'm in Adelaide, iv looked around and can't find anything.
