SPEEDOMETER SYSTEM
AA body vehicles are equipped with electronically
driven speedometer and odometer assemblies. The
unit has the same appearance as a conventional
speedometer but it eliminates the cable-driven me-
chanical system. A signal is sent from a transmis-
sion-mounted vehicle speed sensor to the
speedometer circuitry through the wiring harness.
By eliminating the speedometer cable, instrument
cluster service and removal is improved. Refer to Fig.
27 Speedometer Diagnosis Chart. When the speedometer is out of calibration. The
electronic automatic transaxle vehicle speed sensor
output must be calibrated to reflect the different
combinations of equipment. The procedure is called
Pinion Factor, refer to Group 21, Transaxle for the
procedure.
