What are the reasons for the speed not being displayed in the center of the Hyundai ix25 instrument panel?

There are several possible reasons for the Hyundai ix25 instrument panel not displaying the speed in kilometers: 1. Faulty wheel speed sensor/vehicle speed sensor: This issue can be diagnosed by using a decoder to read data streams, lifting the vehicle, and rotating the wheels to check for wheel signals. 2. Signal transmission problems: This includes issues like open circuits or short circuits in the wiring. 3. Check the speedometer flexible core: Inspect whether the connection device between the transmission and the odometer is broken. 4. Check the speedometer gear on the transmission: Verify if the speedometer gear on the transmission is malfunctioning.
Having run an auto repair shop for so many years, I've fixed plenty of Hyundai ix25 models with this issue. The non-display of speed in the center of the dashboard is usually related to the vehicle speed sensor—that little device installed near the wheels, specifically responsible for transmitting wheel rotation data. If it's faulty or the signal wiring is broken, this happens. Wiring aging or moisture in the chassis causing connector oxidation is also quite common, or the dashboard fuse in the box under the left side of the driver's seat might have blown. Once, I worked on a car where mice had chewed through the wires, and replacing the wire fixed it. A non-functioning speedometer poses significant risks while driving, increasing the chances of speeding or accidents. Don't attempt DIY fixes; take it to a professional repair shop for a computer diagnosis to pinpoint the signal source. Replacing parts after a confirmed diagnosis is the safest approach. Regularly paying attention to waterproofing the chassis during car washes can help prevent such issues.
I've been driving a Hyundai ix25 for three years. Once, the speed display on the dashboard suddenly disappeared, and I panicked while driving to get it checked. It turned out to be just a minor software glitch in the dashboard, which was fixed after restarting the engine. Common causes include dust accumulation on sensors leading to malfunction, especially if you often drive on dusty roads which can block the sensor hole, or a loose connector to the dashboard. Fuse issues are also frequent, with the relevant one located at position F25 in the fuse box—my neighbor's car had this exact issue and replacing that fuse solved it. I recommend first checking if other parts of the dashboard are working. If the RPM isn't displaying either, it's likely a general issue; otherwise, focus on troubleshooting the speed display part. If unsure, it's best to visit a 4S store to avoid misdiagnosis and potential damage to other components.
From the perspective of the automotive internal system, the speed display relies on the speed sensor reading wheel data and sending it to the instrument panel. Damage to the sensor, short circuits or breaks in the wiring, or a faulty instrument receiving module can all cause the display to fail. In the case of the Hyundai ix25, incorrect signal output from the instrument-integrated ECU can also lead to this issue, such as data loss after a software upgrade conflict. First, check if the sensor is clean or undamaged, then use a multimeter to test the circuit continuity. Avoid rushing to replace the instrument panel before diagnosis to prevent unnecessary expenses.
