4.3.3 ELECTRONIC PINION FACTOR
WARNING
The pinion factor must be set for all new trans-
mission control modules. If the pinion factor is not
set or if it is set incorrectly, any speed-related
accessories will not operate or will operate inaccu-
rately. This includes the speedometer, speed con-
trol, rolling door locks, and other devices that are
operated by the powertrain and body control mod-
ules. For instructions on setting the pinion factor,
see the appropriate transmission diagnostic man-
ual or the service manual.
