Taurus V6-195 3.2L DOHC SHO (1994)
Odometer: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The digital odometer displays either miles or kilometers depending on the selection made with the E/M button. The odometer display, as well as
the units (English or metric), will be the same at power up as at power down. The total odometer display consists of 7 digits and a decimal point
(leading zeros are displayed). The digit to the right of the decimal point represents tenths of a unit. The total odometer range is from 000000.0 to
858993.4 Km in the metric mode and to 925691.9 miles in the English mode. The displays will stop at these modes once attained.
FUNCTION
Accumulated mileage is stored in a Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) every 1.6 km (1.0 mile) and when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF
position. The NVM saves both the total odometer mileage as well as the trip odometer mileage. When in the metric mode, the legend km will
appear near the odometer.
Service Alert
If a condition exists where the speed module cannot read a valid odometer memory value from the non-volatile memory the word ERROR will
be displayed.
Odometer/Service Relacement
When the S is displayed it indicates that the instrument cluster has been replaced. The S can only be displayed when a service instrument
cluster, programmed to light the S, is installed. Previous accumulated mileage is recorded on a door jamb sticker.
