Right so my speedo stopped working on my auto 2003 lc4 also the abs vsc lights etc came on as well. So I'm assuming there may be a fault with the vehicle speed sensor. Now a bit of googling came up with a location at the back of the gearbox by the prop , it shows a three pin type sensor with a nylon gear etc.    https://www.pradopoint.com.au/filedata/fetch?id=653820&d=1467877277      Roughtrax list this type of sensor for my vehicle.     Mine does not have this sensor at that possition.....so where is it or is it a different type of sensor??  Any help much appreciated

All there is on the transfer box is a large square black box which I guess is the electronic centre diff and that's it. Even the Ellery book shows the sensor on the output shaft but not on mine.      I will try and post pics but can't remember how! So how does it detect the speed does it use the wheel sensors?

I would think it's behind that black box, looks like it goes in from the side near propshaft, see Here

Thanks Andy but if it were that type it would be clearly vissible in the picture. The black box is just the centre diff actuator and nothing else. Mine has this type of transfer box with no speed sensor in that possition.   https://www.e bay.com/itm/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-120-173HP-TRANSFER-CASE-AUTOMATIC-TRANSMISSION-36100-6D190-/263450129301

Found a forum that is of the opinion that this type of LC uses the wheel sensors to calculate the speed. So ideally I need to scan the car, sadly I can't seem to get techstream to run...will have to go to the garage Confused
