SPEEDOMETER

The task of the instrument panel connector is to:

• Receive and transmit information at the B-CAN network
• Manage the subsiduary functions
• Receive and manage signals outside the network
• Display the vehicle operating stage

The diagram illustrates the main connections for the Instrument Panel Connector

The instrument panel connector functions are listed below

The speedometer shows speeds of between 0 km/h and 240 km/h.

The scale is in km/h, on variants which have an imperial system there is a dual scale.

The instrument panel receives information concerning the speed expressed in km/h via the B-CAN line and then displays it using the index which is moved by a P/P motor

The speed information comes from the NBC, which calculates the speed using the wheel rpm signal from the NFR (ABS) and the measurement of the wheel circumference memorized in the NBC

For speeds of between 0 and 4 km/h, the index remains stationary i the rest position. At higher speeds, the speed is signalled.
