Analog Instrument Panels - New Style: Operation: Gauges: Odometer/Speedometer

Odometer and speedometer receive signals from Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) through Vehicle Control Module (VCM). Integrated circuits control speedometer and odometer. VSS is a permanent-magnet signal generator. A toothed rotor is mounted on tail shaft. Rotor teeth revolve past VSS, producing pulses which are sent to VCM for processing, then to speedometer and cruise control (if equipped).

Trip odometer displays distance driven since last time trip odometer was set to zero. Pressing and immediately releasing trip odometer reset button, toggles between odometer and trip odometer display. Holding trip odometer button for 2 seconds, resets trip odometer. Pressing and holding trip odometer reset button for 4 seconds with ignition switch in OFF position, displays number of hours engine has run.
