What is the normal position of the Toyota Land Cruiser speed knob?
2 Answers
This knob is the crawl control switch of the Land Cruiser. It should be turned off during normal driving. If you need to use it, you must first turn on the main switch, which is located below the knob. Additional information: 1. If set to gear 1, the speed is approximately 1 km/h; in gear 2, the speed is around 3 km/h; and in gear 3, the speed is about 5 km/h. After activating this system, the vehicle will enter crawl mode, which is suitable for use on slopes or in sandy/snowy terrain. 2. The Land Cruiser is a mid-to-large-sized SUV under Toyota. The dimensions of this vehicle are 5095 mm in length, 1975 mm in width, 1930 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850 mm. 3. The domestically produced version of the Land Cruiser comes with two engine options: a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 4.6-liter naturally aspirated engine.
I've been following the Toyota Land Cruiser for many years. The normal position of the speed sensor is generally near the front end of the transmission housing, specifically on the output shaft of the automatic transmission or near the drive shaft. This component is responsible for monitoring vehicle speed. If it's misaligned or damaged, the speedometer on the dashboard becomes inaccurate, and in severe cases, even the cruise control may fail. Last time I worked on an older Land Cruiser, a loose sensor caused trouble codes to pop up randomly, requiring careful inspection of the wiring and connectors under the vehicle. I recommend regular checks of this component to avoid signal interference from dirt or vibration. If the speedometer acts up, prioritize inspecting the transmission area, though the position might vary slightly between model years—consulting the repair manual is more reliable.
