What is the reason for the speedometer of BYD F0 not working?
5 Answers
BYD F0 speedometer not working is caused by a damaged vehicle speed sensor, which can be fixed by replacing the speed sensor. The specific steps for replacement are: 1. Locate the sensor position; 2. Use tools to remove the sensor fixing screws; 3. Loosen the sensor by shaking; 4. Unplug the sensor and install the new one. BYD F0 is a compact car launched by BYD Company. In terms of tires, it comes standard with 16.5cm wide, 60 aspect ratio, 14-inch wheels. In terms of power, the BYD F0 is equipped with a BYD self-developed DOHC three-cylinder 1.0L engine, with a maximum power of 50kw, maximum torque of 90nm, maximum horsepower of 68ps, cylinder block material made of full aluminum alloy, and adopts multi-point electronic fuel injection technology.
I've been driving for decades, and the most common reason I've encountered for a speedometer not working is a faulty speed sensor. The sensor in the BYD F0 is prone to aging or poor contact, and it can become loose on bumpy roads. Other issues include wiring problems, where aged or broken wires cause signal interruption; a malfunctioning instrument cluster itself; or a blown fuse. Last time I was driving my F0 on the highway, the speedometer suddenly stopped working. I immediately pulled over to check and found that the wheel speed sensor connector had come loose. I recommend first checking the fuse box (on the driver's side) to see if the fuse labeled F5 is blown. If that doesn't solve the problem, go to a professional repair shop instead of trying to fix it yourself—safety comes first. Otherwise, you might not even realize you're speeding on the highway.
As a DIY-loving car owner, if the speedometer isn't working, check the speed sensor first—usually located near the wheels. On a BYD F0, it's prone to getting dirty or rusting from water exposure. Unplug the connector and use a multimeter to test if the voltage is normal. Common issues include short circuits or aging wires—inspect for damaged wires or loose connectors. Replacing the sensor yourself is simple and cost-effective; you can find one online for just tens of yuan, but be careful when removing the wheel to avoid damaging parts. Don’t forget to check the fuse—look for the relevant one in the fuse box under the lower left side of the driver's seat and replace it if needed. If it works, you'll save some money. If not, consult a professional—don’t delay, as it could affect your driving.
My BYD F0 speedometer has stopped working, and it's quite unsettling to drive. I heard it's mainly due to sensor failure or a faulty instrument cluster. Simply restarting the battery sometimes helps. If that doesn't work, check if the wheel sensor connections are loose and if any fuses are blown. Get it diagnosed at a repair shop as soon as possible; a 4S dealership can accurately check the fault codes with a computer. Regular maintenance should focus on rust prevention in these areas to avoid misjudging speed, which could lead to accidents.
I'm a mom who drives a BYD F0 to take my child to school, and the speedometer stopped working, which really scares me—I'm afraid of speeding or driving too slow and causing trouble. Searching online suggests it's mostly a faulty speed sensor with a broken signal; it could also be wiring issues or a blown fuse. I immediately went to a roadside repair shop, and the mechanic replaced the sensor, fixing it quickly. My advice: don't wait, prioritize safety and get it repaired right away. Using navigation as a backup isn't accurate enough, and with a child in the car, extra caution is a must.
