Description & Operation: Speedometer

The electronic digital speedometer is located in the center display section of EIM. It can display vehicle speeds from zero to a maximum of 85 MPH or 137 km/h.

Speed information is provided by a transmission mounted variable reluctance speed sensor. This sensor also provides speed information directly to message center and cruise control module.

When cluster is first turned on, the speedometer will initiate a 2 second self-test sequence which will allow verification of speedometer display segment illumination. If speedometer system is in good condition the following display will be shown. See Fig 1 .
