Speedometer needle appears inaccurate (specification +/- 2 MPH)
GMC Yukon Models 2003 - 2024 (among listed models)
FaultCrate・Speedometer needle appears inaccurate (specification +/- 2 MPH)
A customer may comment that the speedometer needle appears inaccurate.
The stepper motor will electrically operate the needle, and there may be some variation in accuracy.
What to do
- The needle accuracy specification is +/- 2 MPH (= 3.22 km/h) at any given speed when looking straight at the needle.
- Digital readouts such as the "Digital Speedometer" on the DIC read the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) directly and are much more accurate.
What is needed
- Parts and materials
- Not stated
- Labor time
- Not stated
- Special tools
- Not stated
- Scan tool
- Not stated
Only what the technical documents state. "Not stated" does not mean not needed.
Caution
- Tire size, tread life and inflation may cause some variation in the readings.
Applies to
- The bulletin lists GMC Yukon Models 2003 - 2024.

The records are of North American vehicles. A vehicle whose lamps or instrument display were changed for Japan may show the fault differently. What the records assume
Put together by FaultCrate from public records and technical documents. The cause and the repair are for the workshop to decide with the vehicle in front of it. Counts are records, not failure rates.
