I found this video a couple years ago when having this issue with my JDM Camry Gracia and couldnt find the issue with all sensors sending and reading properly, so I got the resonator and all to do this repair, but never bothered to replace it because I'm lazy. It finally conked fully out this week, just replaced that resonator and BOOM everything is perfect again. You are a godsend with this video my man, if it wasn't for this, I'd probably still be losing my mind trying to find out what's wrong.

06/20/2022, Hi Jeff, I have a 1998 Toyota Rav4, 2 Door, 127K miles. There are only a total of 2 on the Islands with 2 doors. The Odometer needle at Zero, Mileage Blank screen and there is Erratic shifting was the only problem I had as you stated in the video with your vehicle. Before discovering this video, I called several companies on the mainland USA because I'm in Hawaii if they could repair the issue. None of then could fix this particular model. There was a guy in Hawaii that could fix it but for a whopping $550! Da Hecks? So, I proceeded to watch the video and did exactly what you showed step by step. I had to watch it over and over again cause I didn't know how to solder. But as for me, the only frustrating procedure was to disconnect, take out and reinstall the instrument cluster. You all might want to change out the halogen bulbs to LED ones while you are at it in my opinion. Miraculously, it worked! Jeff, you are awesome! I can now get my annual safety check for the vehicle. Is there any donation link? Thanks for creating the video!

Worked good on my 01 Camry! Thanks for the video, couldn’t done it without your help.

Had all three issues, emphasis on "had" but not any more thanks for the video. Mine is a 1997 Toyota Camry XLE 2.2L for reference.

Jeff, I just did what you initially did and told us about. Today, before placing the cluster though in the refrigerator for a while(couple of hours) I did bend the resonator (blue thing with 3 legs. it did not break)) and put everything back. I placed it in the car (4 connectors my Corolla 1998 LE) and after it started I did take again pictures of the odometer (same figures!) but this time i did drive the car around the building and.... I saw the speedometer working!! Bravo! I could record some of the speedometer action without killing myself in the process!! Just keeping you updated.TKS

Thanks man mine just did this yesterday with these 3 symptoms. It even has the 500 error code. I'm going to do this. You're a life saver my man.

This is the gift that keeps on giving. Very similar presentation 1998 Toyota Sienna with 244K miles. When hot day (we are in Texas) there is no odometer display or speedometer operation. On cool mornings it works fine and is a happy camper. This has been so frustrating. Your technique for soldering is novel but very acceptable. This video was very well done and your documentation is extremely solid. I will report back success / failure after part(s) arrive and procedure completed. Again, thank you so much for the very excellent video.

Pls is it the same resonator model type for the Lexus and Camry 1999/2000?

I just did this resonator replacement on my roommates 98 Camry. The speedometer and odometer just wouldn't work if the car was left out in the sun. I put in a cheap $25 VSS that seemed to work fine but the car still didn't shift correctly if the car was left in the sun. I bought the part you listed from Digi-key, and removed some of the solder with the wick. I used my pencil tip on the soldering station to very carefully bend the pins straight and push them through the holes. I have a lot of experience soldering but it was definitely a little difficult. I used some mini needle nose pliers to drop the new part in place and soldered it so it looked factory. The car runs great, the speedo and odometer worked right away and the car seems to run smoother and more peppy. While the cluster was out, we replaced the factory bulbs with Sylvania 194 bulbs and used a greeen Sharpie permanent marker to color in the bulbs. Most the factory green caps were damaged from the bulb heat and ripped when we peeled them off. The difference is night and day, the car definitely seems much fresher now. Thanks for the video man, you saved me a lot of time.

I was able to fix it on my 1998 Toyota Camry thanks to your Instructions - I'm driving proud now and the chicks dig my car!...Lol - Thanks!

The tip is really helpful, it worked here also Thanks 👍

I put the same part Digi Key 490-18260-ND into my 99 Avalon and it cooked the speedometer board. After carefully soldering the part to speedometer, I immediately smelled electrical issue when on turning on the ignition. I removed the speedometer to see the board had a burn on it. Doing a continuity test on my newly soldered connection posts (3) there was no problem between them, no short. This is a similar "replacement part" to the original part suggested in another video that is no longer available PN # x902-ND - maybe the problem? I've bought a used cluster to install. Best to ya's, God Bless...

Just completed the same repair on my ‘97 Camry and found this tool, 3-1/2 In. Locking Clamp Pliers, $3.99, from Harbor Freight to be a lifesaver while removing and installing the blue resonator. Clamp it on to the 3 exposed wire prongs just below the blue ceramic, making it easier to handle and solder this small part in its original position.

Worked!! Thank you for the easy fix!

Hi Jeff. Any idea whether this solution works for a 2004 Lexus GX470? There seems to be a common scenario for that vehicle where the speedometer is stuck at 0 but the odometer continues to function (and thankfully the transmission shifting also behaves itself) which is of course different to the 3 symptoms you've described. I'd give it a try only I have to order the part first and without having taken out the cluster yet I can't site the component to make sure it is the same value - so I guess my first question is do you know if the component is the same for that model vehicle?

The 98 Camry 2.2L has been mostly OK since then except for the occasional speedo zeroing while driving, check engine light ON, OD OFF light ON and sometimes not changing up from first to second gear. The error seems to resolve itself after about 15-60 seconds but I’m concerned about unresponsiveness especially in traffic. So it’s potentially a safety concern I think. I was thinking the issue could be a faulty/sticky 1-2 shift solenoid but it changes sometimes even when I get the speedo fault.

It’s sounding like the resonator. Worth a shot for only about $5 and some time.

Jeff, if I buy a ceramic resonator with a different pF will ot still work?

@@jeffharrell1874 there are different specification ceramic resonators. They even look identical in color and size. The one you recommended in this video is specification: 4 MHz Ceramic Resonator Built in Capacitor 47 pF -0.4, +0.2% 30 Ohms -20°C ~ 80°C Through Hole They have ones that only have 15pF or even ones that are 8mhz. I bought some that were 15pF. And people said not to use them because they dont have identical specs to the ones you recommemded. Ultimately I located some with the same specs that you listed in the description. So i should be ok. I just want other watchers to know if using different specs will be okay or not. If you read the part description it will tell the specs so you can be sure to have the right ceramic resonators!

Someone mentioned that they were able to have a similar issue fixed by replacing their whole instrument cluster for their non-digital odometer style. It was some resistor that had an issue, but I could not tell you which one it was. But definitely worth looking into.

@@jeffharrell1874 Well... I went and got a instrument cluster assembly from my local pick-n-pull, and because it's a mechanical odometer, I removed the speedo needle and set the mileage to the current mileage on the old cluster. When I reinstalled the cluster, the speedometer now sits at 40mph when the car is sitting still. What did I do wrong?

Sounds like a different issue than what's in this video. but I would first check for bad fuses or bad electrical connections behind gauge cluster. If all that checks out good, then maybe the instrument cluster needs replacing?

I doubt it. This fix is for digital odometers, and I believe yours is a mechanical odometer.

Jeff, I realize, since my last message, that if my odometer showed up and the speedometer worked, it must have been not for bending the resonator but for the coldness of the cluster...? I just felt like clarifying that fact since I never before tried to drive the Corolla after cooling it up inside the refrigerator... I do not want readers to break their resonators... The next day my problem continued. I was wondering what other cars ( Scion?, Lexus?, etc?) have similar cluster as my corolla 1998? So I can entertain myself going to junkyards.....? Have a great day.

@jeffharrell1874

Temperature can certainly affect the resonator’s ability to function. I have heard of others bending the resonator slightly to “wake it back up”, but that is not a lasting solution. I recommend replacing it rather than bending it. I’m sure you can collect resonators from the clusters of vehicles in the junkyard, but the concern would be getting one with the same weakness as before. You may feel different, but it just seems like replacing the resonator with a brand-new, upgraded one for $5 would be less of a hassle than trying to retrieve one from a junkyard. But if you’re just enjoying the long journey doing it, more power to you, lol!

I don’t remember having any codes on mine when these issues came up. But I have heard of this code coming up for others with these issues. It may be possible you have an issue with the speed sensor.
