Supersession Statement
This PI was superseded to update the Model Years and Condition. Please discard PIT5195G.
CONDITION / CONCERN
A customer may comment that their vehicle's speedometer needle appears to be inaccurate. An Instrument Panel Cluster, which has a physical speedometer needle, will electrically operate the needle using a stepper motor and there may be some variation in accuracy. Digital readout devices, such as "Digital Speedometer" on the DIC, are direct readouts of the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) and their accuracy is much greater. Tire size, tread life and inflation may cause some variation in the readings.
RECOMMENDATIONS / INSTRUCTIONS
The specification for speedometer needle accuracy is +/- 2 MPH at any given speed when looking straight at the needle.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
