SPEEDOMETER SYSTEM
AP-body vehicles are equipped with electronically
driven speedometer and odometer assemblies. The
unit has the same appearance as a conventional
speedometer but it eliminates the cable-driven me-
chanical system. A signal is sent from a transmis- sion-mounted speed sensor to the speedometer
circuitry through the wiring harness. By eliminating
the speedometer cable, instrument cluster service
and removal is improved. Refer to Fig. 14 Speedom-
eter Diagnosis.
When the speedometer is out of calibration. The
electronic automatic transaxle vehicle speed sensor
output must be calibrated to reflect the different
combinations of equipment. The procedure is called
Pinion Factor, refer to Group 21, Transaxle for the
procedure.
