tire size or the rear end gear ratio. You will have to calibrate your speedometer if you are
using km/h. You will follow the procedure using a measure kilometer.
To enter calibration: When the display is scrolling through the function menu you will press the
button briefly one time when 'CAL' is being displayed. '8000' will appear in the odometer, this
indicates the factory settings, when the button is pressed, this will change to '0'. When the '0' is
displayed the gauge is ready to be calibrated. It is very important that you drive to the end of the
measured mile and tap the button again. At a minimum, drive some distance and you can always
go back and start again if need be. If you miss stopping the display at 'CAL', simply repeat the
steps.
Warning: If the microprocessor does not receive any data, the unit will display 'Err" and will
revert to the factory settings. This can be the result of not moving the vehicle while in 'CAL' mode
or the dash is not receiving a proper speed signal from the vehicle.
To calibrate:
1. Locate a measured mile or KM where you can safely start and stop your
vehicle. By running the vehicle over this measured distance, the speedometer will
learn the number of pulses output by the speedometer sensor during a specific
measured distance. It will then use this acquired data to calibrate itself for accurate
reading. There is a small recall pushbutton in the center of the panel used to calibrate
and read all the data stored in the speedometer. After installing your speedometer
according to the wiring instructions, when the ignition is on it should immediately
display the default screen of 0 MPH, if the vehicle is not moving.
NOTE: You will then need to drive your vehicle to the predetermined measured
mile. During this trip, the speedometer should read something other than 0 MPH. If it
does not change, return, and locate the problem before continuing. Otherwise,
proceed with the calibration.
2. Stop at the beginning of the measured mile with your vehicle running and in
odometer mode (NOT trip mode), press and hold the push-button until the odometer
displays 'HI- SP'. On its own, the gauge will then cycle through the recorded
performance in the following order: '0 – 60', '1/4', 'ODO', and 'CAL'.
3. While 'CAL' is displayed, quickly tap the push-button once. This will put the
speedometer in Program Mode. If you do not tap while 'CAL' is displayed, the
pulses per mile will be displayed on the odometer and the display will go back to
MPH mode. Otherwise, you will now see 'CAL' displayed along with the number '0'.
This indicates that the microprocessor is now ready for calibration.
4. When you are ready, begin driving on the metered mile. You will notice that the
reading will start counting. The odometer will begin to display the incoming pulse
count. Drive the vehicle through the measured mile (speed is not important, only the
distance traveled).
5. At the end of the mile, stop and press the push button again. The odometer will now
display the new number of speedometer pulses that were registered over the distance.
The odometer will continue to display the pulse reading for a few seconds. Once it
reverts to the default mode, you have successfully calibrated your speedometer.
