VSS- A faulty speed sensor will often be accompanied by the P0500 (VSS circuit malfunction) trouble code. The speed sensor does more than just control the speedometer, it also helps to control the cruise control system and may even affect the way that the engine runs. If the service engine soon light is on, then check the trouble code with an OBDII scanner. If you don't have a scanner, take it to the local parts store and have them run it for you.
Wiring Issues- Exposed wiring to or from the VSS can cause your Torrent's speedometer to no longer work. This will often manifest itself after driving through heavy water. It's worth checking to see if the fuse has blown. If it has, just be aware that it will eventually blow again without addressing the cause of the problem. Here's a great guide on how to diagnose a wiring short in almost any vehicle
ECU- Your Torrent's Engine Control Unit (ECU for short) is the computer that takes all of the information that the vehicle sensors compile and uses it to control the vehicle systems, and sends important vehicular telemetry data to the driver via the instrument cluster. If there is something wrong with the ECU, it may no longer be able to send the speed telemetry to the instrument panel. This one is a possibility if there are no VSS related trouble codes, but taking a look at the wiring would be a better place to go before taking a look at the ECU.
Speedometer Itself- The odds of the speedometer going out all by itself, while the rest of the gauges continue to work are not great. Most of the time if the speedometer is out, it means that there is a bigger problem with the entire instrument cluster. Do all of the other gauges work? If yes then, the problem is probably not in the speedometer, but the signal going to it. Other gauges went out too? Ok, looking at the instrument panel and ECU are going to be where to start. Instrument panel first.
