Speedometer/Odometer/Trip Odometer

These displays receive a signal from the Vehicle Speed Sensor Buffer through the LT BLU/BLK (824) wire. The Vehicle Speed Sensor Buffer converts the speed signal from the Vehicle Speed Sensor to 4000 pulses per mile. A different Vehicle Speed Sensor Buffer is used for each axle ratio to convert the signal.

The Speedometer indicates vehicle speed in miles per hour or kilometers per hour depending on the E/M Switch position. Speeds below 1.4 mph may be displayed as "0."

The odometer/trip odometer display is mounted on a separate board attached to the main display board. The odometer displays the total vehicle mileage up to 999,999 miles in the English mode. If the mileage exceeds this, the display flashes ERROR. In Metric mode, the display will flash ERROR when it exceeds 999,999 kilometers. The English display will show the normal display.

The display can be switched from total odometer to trip odometer by pushing the trip switch. When the TRIP Switch is open, the total mileage is displayed. When the TRIP Switch is closed, the trip mileage is displayed.

The Trip Odometer can be reset to 0 by pushing the RESET Switch. The display must be in the TRIP mode to be reset.

The accumulated mileage of the two displays is stored in a nonvolatile memory chip to prevent losing this data if the battery or cluster is disconnected.

If the Cluster is replaced, the Odometer Display can be transferred to the new cluster.
