Hello all,
Recently got a 1996 2 door Tahoe in my possession, and has it been a great truck to work on (is it considered a truck really?). Anyways, I noticed that the speedometer reads 5mph too high in the city and 8-10mph off on the highway (i.e, Im actually going 25mph but the speedo shows 30mph) as well as my tachometer is about 200rpm too high as well (idling at about 500rpm and it shows 700rpm). The reason I know this is because I connected a handheld obdII scanner and watched the live data as I drove. This tells me that theres some type of connection error between the computer and the dashboard. Im not really sure what to do with this kind of thing, as mechanical parts are my strong point and I tend to shy away from wiring. Any help would be appreciated to figuring out what the issue is! Also, the needles on both of them are a greenish hue, while the rest are orange. Not sure if this is significant but thought I may ad it.
Thanks!
