With Conventional Instrument Cluster

The speedometer and odometer provides speed information based on a speed/distance pulse signal from the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). The VSS is mounted on the speedometer driven gear in the transmission. The signal sent to the Speedometer / odometer is affected by various factors and combinations such as:
- Tire size
- Gear ratio
- Number of teeth on the VSS driven gear







The allowable acceptable variations for indicated vehicle speed are:

Speedometer/Odometer Value Indicated Allowable Range
48 km/h (30 mph) Actual Speed 45-56 km/h (28-35 mph)
97 km/h (30 mph) Actual Speed 93-104 lm/h (58-65 mph)
Odometer Measures Over Actual 16 km (10 Miles) Distance 15.4-16.6 km (9.6-10.3 miles)
