Re: speed signal on 312D ?
Does your model use a CANbus to talk between the modules?
This is what the 2003 service manual says:
This gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Controller Anti-lock Brake (CAB) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
*and*
The CAB continually monitors the four wheel speed sensors to determine the vehicle road speed.
The CAB then sends the proper vehicle speed messages to the instrument cluster.
So it's the CAB pushing messages to the IC (instrument cluster)... the ECU doesn't directly get into the mix.
...at least here in the US...

p.s. the IC then goes on to create a pulsing signal to tell radios the vehicle's speed, so that they can/will increase the volume as road noise goes up. (IC connector C2, pin 9 going to radio connector C1, pin 1)

What is your VIN? (in case MB's WIS/EPC has any info)

Re: speed signal on 312D ?
It may not even be electrical, let alone CAN!!!
Reading page 94 of the old service manual here...
http://www.diysprinter.co.uk/refere...10_307_308_310_408_410D_service_manual_EN.pdf
It states to remove the Gearbox disconnect the mechanical speedometer drive cable.
SO first place to look would either be on your gearbox or on the back of the speedo head for a drive cable.

OK I stand corrected, I wasn't quite sure what year that manual covered up to. Obviously not a 1997

Hehehe no, that was somthing hitler forgot here under second war...OK I stand corrected, I wasn't quite sure what year that manual covered up to. Obviously not a 1997

i'm only starting the dig, but you (theoretically) have a 1-day/2-drivers recording tachograph, ABS and ABR, 4-wheel drive and "basic fittings for a radio" (so you may have the speed-pulse signal presented on a connector)
Here's your datacard: View attachment 1997-wdb9034621P713797.pdf
Oh, what fun.... here is the schematic and legend for your instrument panel: View attachment 1997instruments.pdf
(yes, the MB stupid software issues the pages in backwards order... "cut and tape")
The sensor for the speedometer is item G4 at (lower horizontal scale) location 76.
(engine RPM is B72 at location 60)
Connector X41 is the speedometer connector, and X49 is the speedo calibration and seal connector.
(note that X49 shows up elsewhere)
((i thought that the fuel level sensor (B3) came in X41 at location 46, but that's really X4.1))
The "tachometer sensor" can enter by either X41 or X49... so you'll have to look at yours.
The drawing says that X41 is only a 2-pin connector (with twisted wires to the sensor)
X49 has many pins (note the zig-zag line on the edge of the shell, indicating "more elsewhere")
"tachometer" is the generic term for anything that measures something rotating.
Wire color codes are in German, so "sw" (swartz) is Black.
The speedo sensor looks like a simple coil pickup (i'm trying to find it elsewhere)
Found it: it's MB part number A 005 542 58 17 "sender unit, speedometer"
Item number 53 in the diagram below my signature (scroll all the way down for the image)
((the drawing hints at a 4-wire cable))
M111 (not listed in the Legend) is the engine wiring harness
Given the datacard, here's the schematic for the "flat tachograph": View attachment 1997tachograph.pdf
Here the (a?) speed sensor seems to be G3, but the "speed sensor connector" is J149 at location 12, which corresponds to the mess at location 70 on the instrument cluster drawing. I'm not sure if that's an input or output from the IC. (i suspect it's an output from the IC, and that G3 is a redundant/confirming sensor for the recorder)

Re: speed signal on 312D ?
finally i get som information.i have Mercedes program on this computer but i dont understand is so good yet..i have to work with it...
first thing im thinking is that i actually can fit IC from my spare car, 2002 model. im going to move over dashboard from it to fit in my 312... but my first consern is Can-bus on 2002 model, that will make some trouble for me. but some way i have to figure out how i can make it work with out moving over wiring from 313, and if i have to move it, how to splice it together with wiring and ecu on 312... i think that both ecu have to share things like temp sensors, oil pressure sensors etc.
and if it not goes my way i have to build my own Ic..
what do u think about my thought on this?
and again, thanx a lot for all of youre help!
Victor
omg! what a job u did for me there! tnx a lot!

Please keep us informed of your progress...
... i learned quite a bit about the differences in the 1997's way of doing things.
