Speedometer Module: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION
The electronic speedometer gets a speed/distance signal from the cableless transmission-mounted speed sensor. The speedometer portion of the display consists of 2-1/2 digits which indicate vehicle speed. The mode (English or metric) will also be indicted by displaying either the MPH or km/h legends. The display units (English or metric) will be consistent with the odometer and fuel computer, and will be the same at power up as they were at power down.

FUNCTION
The maximum speed indicated will be limited to 193 km/h (120 mph). These readings will be displayed for all vehicle speeds exceeding 193 km/h (120 mph). It is normal for the speedometer to display consecutive numbers during slow acceleration or deceleration, and to skip consecutive numbers during quick starts and stops.
