Combination Meter: Speedometer: General

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The speedometer system is an electrical type that uses electric signals from the speed sensor in MT models or the transmission control module (TCM) in AT models.
The vehicle speed sensor is installed on the manual transmission.
Since the system does not use mechanical components such as rotating cable, there are no opportunities of occurring such problems as meter needle vibration and cable disconnection. Also, it does not constitute any means of mechanical noise transmission.
The odometer and trip meter readings appear on a liquid crystal display (LCD).
