silverado speedometer reading high

How to do:

1. There will be a switch button for total mileage and small mileage on the instrument. Call out the small mileage and press and hold the switch button for 3 seconds to clear it. The total mileage cannot be reset, but the Auto Parts City has a total mileage adjustment through the instrument. mileage.

2. Automobile instrumentation tends to be electronic. The odometer of the early mechanical flexible shaft has almost disappeared, and it is replaced by an electronic odometer and a liquid crystal display. In the past, the odometer can be adjusted by dialing the digital gear.

3. Find the clutch housing of the car. This position is different. Some are on the odometer sensor plug of the gearbox or drive shaft, and then pull it out gently by hand.

4. Then insert the output plug of the meter into the signal jack in the pulled out sensor pin, and insert the meter into the cigarette lighter accurately.

5. The total mileage itself cannot be cleared, but the itinerary mileage can be cleared.

(1) Vehicle stall test

A stall test is one way to detect malfunctions in an automatic transmission. Specifically, pull the handbrake, step on the brakes, change the gearbox to the "D" position, and then slowly step on the accelerator to observe the engine speed. With the accelerator fully depressed, the engine doesn't rev above 2,600 rpm most of the time. If the display speed is too high, it means that the internal wear of the gearbox is serious, and the gearbox needs to be overhauled.

(2) Torque converter lock-up clutch test

If the fuel consumption of the automatic transmission suddenly increases, the engine speed is high during driving, the vehicle speed is not high, and there is no doubt about the stall test, then it is necessary to suspect the fault of the torque converter lock-up clutch. If there is no lock, when the car is running, the engine and the gearbox are not rigidly connected, and the speed difference between the two is very large, so the car will naturally consume a lot of fuel.

(3) Clutch wear detection for manual transmission models

For models with manual transmission, you can check whether the clutch is slipping according to the relationship between engine speed and vehicle speed. For example, when the engine speed of a car is 2000rpm, the speed is 60km/h. If the speed is only 50km/h at this time, it means that the clutch is slipping and the clutch needs to be repaired.
