    I've looked for it before and concluded the ABS sensors must provide the speed signal.
    I've never managed to find where it goes into the Ecu or speedo

    Hello thanks for your reply.Maybe you have right,i search all the places which can be the speed meter,the strange is that i can find the sensor as part in internet and seems that isnt part of ABS system.
    So i have to find ABS sensor and to clean or to test in omhmeter.Thank you.

    Well I've found a thread that shows the actual wire, that presumably should be traceable to the sensor - plus if you're lucky, the wire could be the problem. It's in a wrapped bundle of wires running under the centre console according to this thread:- DIY: Open roof while driving

    Id say the wire they are referring too is a speed signal coming from the the engine ecu going to the roof Ecu but I'd like to be proved wrong.

    That does seem likely although it wouldn't actually be a speed sensor wire in that case. Seeing as it was translated from Korean though, sensor/signal...you're probably right. :-/

    Used to have a White Copen, but I sold it in 2023
    Check the ABS rings and the respective ABS sensors
