Input Speed
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2013 Volvo C70, 2012 Volvo C70, 2011 Volvo C70, 2010 Volvo C70, and 2009 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The value indicates the input speed from the transmission speed sensor. The speed can be generated with the engine idling and the gear selector in position. If the gear selector is in any other position, a gear is engaged and the transmission input shaft is connected to the output shaft and an RPM will not be indicated until the car is driven. Depending on slippage in the torque converter the transmission speed and the engine speed will differ when the lock-up function is not engaged. With lock-up engaged the transmission speed should be the same as engine speed (RPM).
