Tie information is then transmisted to other modules that require vehicle speed information, such asthe instrument cluster, via the CAN (Control Area Network) BUS, However, BA Falcons that have ABS or Traction Control have deleted the Speedo signal sensor from the side of the transmission, This can present problems if we are attaching accessories such as a Taximeter that require a Speedo signal for correct operation, ‘The PCM is supplied with a signal from the ABS/Traction control module, however itis best not to ure this signal to avoid compromising the integrity of this system. The PCM is designed to supply a Vehicle co Dagan me. Speed signal forthe Satellite Navigation System. Ic is recommended that this signal be wed if you require accessing the Vehicle Speed signal.
