Circuit/System Description
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the vehicle speed based on the information from the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM). The ECM/PCM converts the data from the vehicle speed sensor to a 4000 pulses/mile signal. The ECM/PCM sends the vehicle speed information via CAN serial data circuit to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends the information via class 2 serial data to the IPC to order to display the vehicle speed and miles traveled.
