Analogue Gages: Tachometer
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The tachometer is located on the RH (right-hand) side of the instrument cluster and displays engine speeds up to 8000 rev/min.
The tachometer is driven by an engine speed signal transmitted on the high speed CAN from the ECM (engine control module). The signal is derived from the CKP (crankshaft position) sensor. The signal is received by the instrument cluster microprocessor and the output from the microprocessor drives the tachometer.
