Smarty killing my speedo?

Recently on and off my speedo has been not working. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. The ABS and BRAKE light also come on when this happens. So far it has done it twice then kinda cleared itself up. It was not doing this before I installed the smarty.

Not always. I use the Smarty to check the codes. I ran into one being thrown due to an alarm system issue for my cruise control that did not show a check engine light.

It is not dependent on the light. Key on key off 3 times leaving the key on the 3rd time and see if there are any codes in the odometer window.

Mine does this all the time when it gets cold. I think it is a bad connection in the sending unit. it seem to be around 40 degrees when I sat to see the problem but if I drive around for a bit the lights go off on the next start.

My speedo does it too with the Smarty. It skips 5-10 mph at a time????

No codes, just skips.. it's really annoying
