I have a 2002 4runner w/ only 58,000 mi. CEL light reads that I need to replace Speed Ratio Sensor A and instrument cluster is not working except for the engine temp.(tach, speed, gas and odo not working) Local repair shop said that my instrument cluster circuit board will need to be replaced too. How would both go out at the same time? Replacement cost is between $700 - $800. Is this too much?
 
when the vehicle CEL is warning you that the there is a speed sensor malfunction,it is then up to the technician to determine if the sensor is bad or there is a wiring problem.it is very unlikely for both the speed sensor and the instrument panel to go bad at the same time.I've been working on Toyotas for many years and I have yet to see both of these components to go bad at the same time.I suggest that you take your vehicle to your Toyota dealership and have it diagnosed by someone who knows what he is doing,and that has the equipment to make the right diagnosis.good luck.
