Record by record
12 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.
Component named as the cause
Work done
How it is said to have ended
- says it held for a while1
- result not stated4
A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

Known issuesSpeedometer needle appears inaccurate (specification +/- 2 MPH)1
Manufacturer communication2003–2006 GMC YUKON DENALI ・ 2017-08-15
Speedometer needle accuracy specification communication
1Fault
- A customer may say the speedometer needle appears inaccurate.
2Finding the cause
Possible causes
- The speedometer needle is driven electrically by a stepper motor and some variation in accuracy is possible.
- Tire size, tread life and inflation may cause some variation in the readings.
Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)
- Digital readouts such as the "Digital Speedometer" on the DIC read the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) directly and are much more accurate.
- The specification for needle accuracy is +/- 2 MPH (= 3.22 km/h) at any given speed when looking straight at the needle.
3Correction
What the documents say to do
Speedometer needle appears inaccurate (specification +/- 2 MPH)Confirm
- The needle accuracy specification is +/- 2 MPH (= 3.22 km/h) at any given speed when looking straight at the needle.
Caution
- Tire size, tread life and inflation may cause some variation in the readings.
