It's in the HOW TO CHECK ERROR CODES guides on the main website

Error Code 42 wrote:
No SPD signal for 8 seconds when engine speed is between 2,500rpm and 6,000rpm and coolant temperature is below 80C (176F) except when racing the engine


Do you have a JDM import? If so the most likely culprit is a speedo conversion box gone bad or the wiring for it

Usually located on the back of the gauge cluster

Yeah its a JDM import, its got the km/h speedo but its been converted to MPH.
