Speedometer/Tachometer Gauges
The speedometer and tachometer gauges are driven by inputs from the microprocessor
which is driven by the vehicle speed sensor, located at the transmission, and an engine
speed sensor, located at the engine flywheel housing.
The sensors are magnetic pick-up devices which sense the rotation of the speedometer
gear and the flywheel ring gear. A permanent magnet located in these sensors
establishes a magnetic field at the tip of the sensor. The magnetic field is repeatedly
interrupted by the gear teeth, creating voltage impulses that are transmitted to the
microprocessor.

The speedometer and tachometer sensor output signals originate at the engine speed
sensor (Engine manufacturers component) and at the vehicle speed sensor located at
the transmission. These signals are sent to the engine Electronic Control Module
(ECM). The engine ECM receives the input signals, processes them, and sends signals
in the form of serial data transmissions over data link circuits to the speedo/tach
microprocessor. The microprocessor then outputs the information to the speedometer
and tachometer gauges.
The engine ECM has been factory programmed with the information for various
components a vehicle is equipped with, such as tire size, axle ratio, and engine model.
NOTE: Any changes in vehicle components such as tire size, axle ratio, etc.
requires the engine ECM to be reprogrammed and not the speedo/tach
microprocessor. Refer to engine manufacturers service manual for information
on reprogramming.
International
The speedometer and tachometer sensor output signals originate at the engine speed
sensor installed in the engine (Engine manufacturers component) and at the vehicle
speed sensor located at the transmission.
The engine speed sensor transmits a signal to the engine Electronic Control Module
(ECM) which calculates the engine speed. The engine ECM sends the calculated
engine speed (RPM) as a digital signal to the engine Vehicle Personality Module
(VPM). The engine VPM buffers this signal and sends a signal to the speedo/tach
microprocessor.
The vehicle speed sensor sends an AC signal to the engine VPM. The engine VPM has
been programmed with the correct rear axle ratio and tire size information. The engine
VPM uses this programmed information and the speed sensor input to create the
vehicle speed signal which is sent to the speedo/tach microprocessor.
NOTE: Any changes in vehicle components such as tire size, axle ratio, etc.
requires the engine VPM to be reprogrammed and not the speedo/tach
microprocessor. Refer to engine manufacturers service manual for information
on reprogramming.

January 1994 to November 1997 - Electronic Engines:
International
The speedo/tach cluster has two sets of DIP switches with eight
switches in each bank. The DIP switches are located at the top, rear
of the cluster and can be used to manually program the speedo/tach
microprocessor to receive signals from the engine Vehicle Personality
Module (VPM) ( Figure 17 ).
Information on engine, axle ratio, tire revolutions per mile, number of
teeth on the transmission speedometer gear, etc. are programmed
into the engine VPM and not the speedo/tach module.
IMPORTANT: The original speedo/tach cluster microprocessor is
electronically programmed, when the vehicle is built, to receive
signals generated by the engine VPM. However, the physical
positions of all the DIP switches remain in the "0" position.
The original electronically programmed settings are shown on the
vehicle linesetting ticket in the 010000 code, Speedo & Misc - last
sixteen (16) digits ( Figure 18 ), and on a label attached to the top of
the original cluster ( Figure 19 ).
DIP switch settings can also be determined by following the DIP
Switch Configuration section.
IMPORTANT: Physically moving any of the DIP switches from
the "0" position disables all of the electronically programmed
settings of the cluster. If any DIP switch is moved for any
reason, then ALL of the DIP switches must be physically moved
to the appropriate positions shown on the vehicle linesetting
ticket, or the label attached to the top of the cluster. Physically
moving all the DIP switches back to the "0" position of an
electronically programmed cluster will enable the original
programmed settings.
Component Changes
If there are any changes in vehicle components, such as tire size or
axle ratio etc., the engine VPM must be reprogrammed with the
correct data.
NOTE: The speedo/tach module microprocessor or DIP switches
cannot be electronically reprogrammed.
The Pro-Link 9000 or the EZ-Tech Electronic Service Tool (EST) can
be used for reprogramming the engine VPM. Refer to the Pro-Link
manual or EZ-Tech documentation for programming instructions.
Cluster Replacement
Replacing the speedo/tach cluster requires the module to be
manually programmed by physically setting all DIP switches. This
enables the microprocessor to accept signals from the engine VPM.
The original DIP switch settings are found on the vehicle linesetting
ticket, on the label attached to the top of the original cluster, or can be
determined by following the DIP Switch Configuration section below.
DIP Switch Configuration
The physical settings of the DIP switch positions for these engines is
as follows:
Ten Speedometer Switches - 0101111100 (Number 1 thru 8 on left
bank, plus 1 and 2 on right bank).
One, Two-Speed Axle Ratio Switch - 0 or 1 (Number 3 on right
bank) "0" for 1.36:1 - "1" for 1.39:1 ratios.
To calculate two-speed axle ratio, divide the high speed gear ratio by
the low speed gear ratio. These ratios are stamped into a tag located
on the differential carrier. This switch is not active if not equipped with
a two-speed axle and the lineset ticket or cluster label will be marked
with an "*".
Three Tachometer Switches - 000 (Number 4, 5, and 6 on right
bank).
One Tachometer Scale Switch - 0 (Number 7 on right bank).
One Odometer Switch - 0 or 1 (Number 8 on right bank) "0" for miles
or "1" for kilometers.
PROGRAMMING, CALCULATION AND SWITCH SETTING
NOTE: These calculations and the Speedometer DIP Switch Setting Charts are not for
use with "electronically" controlled engines after Jan. 1, 1994. The component
changes for those vehicles are to be programmed through the Engine Control Module
(ECM) or the Vehicle Personality Module (VPM) (International engines), and not
through the speedo/tach DIP switches.
The Speedo/Tach module is programmed for an input signal reflecting the number of pulses
per mile from the vehicle speed sensor. The chart in this section factors in the speedometer
gear pulse information, but the number of revolutions per mile of the propeller shaft (same as
the output shaft) must be calculated.
The calculation requires two numbers: the number of revolutions per mile for the vehicle tire
size, and the rear axle ratio.
NOTE: To determine 2-SPD, RPM, Tachometer Scale, and Odometer DIP Switch
Settings, refer to the appropriate DIP Switch Configuration section.
IMPORTANT: Be sure all relays in the vehicle are the suppressed type.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the accessory voltage to the cluster is within a range of
11 to 16 volts.
Engine RPM must be greater than 300 RPM for the hourmeter to count time.
IMPORTANT: Be sure all relays in the vehicle are the suppressed type.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the accessory voltage to the cluster is within a range of
11 to 16 volts.
The instrument cluster has self-testing capabilities that will identify various failures in
the electronic portions of the unit. The self testing diagnostics provide a strong
indication of exactly what is wrong with the unit, without removing the cluster from the
vehicle or spending a large amount of time troubleshooting.
Pass Indications
The cluster will test itself each time the vehicle is powered up. If all tests pass, the unit
will drive both the speedometer and tachometer needles through one complete sweep.
This indicates that all output circuits are good and tells the driver that the gauges are
good.
Fail Indications
If the unit senses a circuit problem at power up, the speedometer and tachometer
needles will simultaneously wave from 0 and one of the numbers on the speedometer
and tachometer dial faces three times. The "bad" gauge will be parked at full scale and
the other gauge will be operable.
Engine RPM must be greater than 300 RPM for the hourmeter to count time.

Tablero de Instrumentos, Reemplazo de Circuitos de Instrumentos Individuales
APLICAR
DESCRIPCION
Antes de esta fecha, la única forma de reparar el tablero de instrumentos fue reemplazar
todo el bastidor y el conjunto del tablero de circuitos. Ahora es posible reemplazar solamente
el tablero de circuito con problema, sea el izquierdo, derecho, o central sin tener que
reemplazar todo el conjunto. Los vehículos construidos antes de Noviembre de 1997, deben
tener tableros de instrumentos central con interruptores "Profundos" como se muestra en la
Figura 6. Después de Noviembre de 1997, ellos deben tener Tableros con Enlace de Datos
sin interruptores "profundos". La remoción e instalación del conjunto del tablero de
instrumentos no ha cambiado. Vea el Manual de Servicio, Sección S08034 para información
sobre el método apropiado para remover e instalar el tablero de instrumentos en el tablero
del vehículo.
PARTS INFORMATION
NOTA: Los tableros izquierdo y derecho son designados por su localización vista
desde el asiento del conductor.

PRECAUCION:
Figura 3.
5. Ubique cuidadosamente el nuevo tablero del circuito sobre las clavijas de los
instrumentos (o agujeros de montaje si no hay instrumento) y presione uniformemente
el tablero del circuito nuevo sobre las clavijas de los instrumentos hasta que el tablero
nuevo quede plano a nivel del bastidor de los instrumentos.
6. Reinstale los cinco tornillos de cabeza de estrella removidos previamente. NO
APRIETE DEMASIADO LOS TORNILLOS!
Reemplazo del Tablero PC del Lado Derecho
1. Remueva los cuatro tornillos de cabeza de estrella del tablero de circuitos grande
mostrado en la Figura 3.
2. Remueva los dos tornillos de cabeza de estrella del tablero de circuitos pequeño
mostrado en la Figura 3.
3. Si no hay instrumentos instalados, simplemente levante y separe el tablero del
circuito del bastidor.
a. Si hay instrumentos, palanquee cuidadosamente el tablero del circuito hacia
arriba para separarlo del bastidor, mueva la palanquilla poco a poco alrededor del
tablero del circuito para que éste se levante en forma uniforme en todos sus lados y
se liberen las clavijas de las conexiones adheridas al tablero de circuitos.
4. Los tableros de repuesto grande y pequeño han sido moldeados unidos y se debe
cortar para separarlos antes de su instalación. NO CORTE LOS DOS CABLES ENTRE
LOS TABLEROS!
5. Remueva los soportes de luces del tablero que se está reemplazando e instálelos en
el lugar correcto en los nuevos tableros de circuito.
6. Ubique cuidadosamente el nuevo tablero grande del circuito sobre las clavijas de los
instrumentos (o agujeros de montaje si no hay instrumento) y presione uniformemente
el tablero del circuito nuevo sobre las clavijas de los instrumentos hasta que el tablero
nuevo quede plano a nivel del bastidor de los instrumentos.
7. Reinstale los cuatro tornillos de cabeza en estrella removidos previamente del
tablero grande del circuito y los dos tornillos del tablero pequeño montado encima. NO
APRIETE DEMASIADO LOS TORNILLOS!
Reemplazo del Tablero PC Central
1. Remueva los seis tornillos de cabeza de estrella que aseguran la cubierta metálica
sobre el tablero de instrumentos, y remueva la cubierta metálica, como se muestra en
la Figura 4.
2. Remueva los dos tornillos cabeza de estrella remanentes debajo de la cubierta
metálica removida en el paso 1. Vea la Figura 5.
NOTA: La Figura 5 muestra un tablero de circuito central para vehículos
construidos en o después de Noviembre de 1997, con el tablero de circuito
central con "enlace de datos" sin interruptores "Profundos". La Figura 6 muestra
un tablero central de un vehículo construido antes de Noviembre de 1997 con
interruptores "Profundos". Si el tablero que va a ser reemplazado tiene
interruptores "Profundos" y todos los interruptores están colocados en "0", el
tablero es una unidad original y fue programado en la planta de ensamble. El
tablero de reemplazo no está programado en la fábrica y tendrá que tener
interruptores "Profundos" configurados de acuerdo a la etiqueta de interruptores
"Profundos" adherida al tablero viejo. Si el tablero que se está reemplazando
tiene interruptores en posiciones distintas a "0", registre la posición de los
interruptores y coloque los interruptores "Profundos" del nuevo tablero de
reemplazo en la misma posición del tablero reemplazado. Vea las instrucciones
específicas en el Manual de Servicio 08034x, INSTRUMENTOS, VELOCÍMETRO,
PROGRAMACIÓN MANUAL.

5. Coloque los cables del odómetro y horómetro a través de los agujeros del nuevo
tablero del circuito (Figura 5).
6. Instale el nuevo tablero central por medio de una cuidadosa alineación de las
clavijas de los instrumentos con los agujeros del tablero de circuitos y los agujeros de
montaje con los espárragos de la estructura del tablero. Una vez en su lugar, empuje
cuidadosamente hacia abajo el tablero dentro de las clavijas de los instrumentos,
asegurándose que el tablero nuevo quede plano y a nivel contra el bastidor del tablero.
7. Reinstale los dos tornillos con cabeza en estrella que sujetan el tablero contra el
bastidor del tablero (Figura 5).
8. Remueva el puente de conexión del velocímetro KPH/MPH y/o el puente de
conexión de resolución del engranaje de la transmisión, del tablero del circuito viejo
(usado en los tableros centrales sin interruptores "Profundos") e instálelos en la misma
posición en el tablero nuevo, tal como se muestra en la Figura 5. Para las aplicaciones,
vea el Manual de Servicio, Sección S08155x.
9. Reinstale los conectores del odómetro y/u horómetro en las clavijas del tablero de
circuitos.
10. Reinstale la cubierta metálica sobre el tablero central y reemplazando y
asegurando con los seis tornillos de cabeza en estrella que fueron removidos en el
paso 1. NO APRIETE DEMASIADO LOS TORNILLOS.
