Tachometer: Description and Operation

TACHOMETER - PCM OUTPUT
Refer to the Instrument Panel System for more information.

The tachometer receives its information across the PCI Bus from the Body Control Module (BCM). Information on engine rpm is transmitted from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) across the PCI Bus to the BCM. The BCM calculates the position of the tachometer pointer based on the input from the PCM and adjusts the position of the gauge pointer to the necessary position. This signal is sent over the PCI Bus to the instrument cluster.
