Slow down? Or doesn’t that work? What was the question? Oh, yeah, there wasn’t one. Did you have one?

Could be the stepper motor for the speedometer

A mechanic with a professional level scan tool should be able to “sweep the gauges” as part of his diagnosis

A $300 tool won’t perform these kind of tests, by the way

So either pay for a proper diagnosis or get your hands on a decent scan tool
