If your battery is over 3 years old, try a new one.
It’s the code reader.
The code reader showed 88… Not the actual speedometer.
55 MPH = 88 km/hour
The code reader shows you your speed???
The more sophisticated code readers can read the car’s sensors individually, so are able to read the vehicle speed sensor. That’s why the insurance companies want to plug electronic monitor boxes onto the obd II connector full time, so they know how fast the owner drives the car. Drive too fast, your rates go up, or you get dropped… Th OP’s code reader must display the output of the vehicle speed sensor in km/hr units rather than miles/hr.
When my brother got a Harbor Freight code reader for about $90, he plugged it in to my Insight, and as I drove, he told me real-time coolant temp, spark advance, and other stuff.
Exactly so. My scanner also gives all that internal data. And, when I hooked up to the government pickup they were using to pickup garbage on streets where the big garbage truck can’t go, it showed coolant temp at -40, also a synch problem in the motor.
And, yes, if driving (careful of distractions) it tells you road speed.
