speedometer stays at 60 or above Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting Guest Anonymous Poster todd4john@comcast.net Apr 14, 2009, 12:13 PM Post #1 of 2 (3651 views) speedometer stays at 60 or above Sign In 2004 GMC Yukon SLT 5.3L V8 FlexFuel The speedometer is not working properly. It won't read less than 60 mph, but does read higher during acceleration. Then it will read lower upon deceleration, respectively. Is this an easy fix by removing dashboard panels and manually pushing the needle back to 0 mph? Or is it unfortunately more complicated?? flgmtech1 User Apr 15, 2009, 9:24 AM Post #2 of 2 (3641 views) Re: speedometer stays at 60 or above Sign In     The problem is in your IPC or cluster, 07187C -- SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT - INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER GAUGE NEEDLE FUNCTION Models: 2003-2004 CADILLAC ESCALADE, ESCALADE ESV, ESCALADE EXT 2005 CADILLAC ESCALADE, ESCALADE ESV, ESCALADE EXT (U.S. ONLY) 2003-2004 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, SILVERADO, SUBURBAN, TAHOE 2005 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, SILVERADO, SUBURBAN, TAHOE (U.S.ONLY) 2003-2004 GMC SIERRA, YUKON, YUKON XL 2005 GMC SIERRA, YUKON, YUKON XL (U.S. ONLY) THIS BULLETIN IS BEING REVISED TO INCLUDE CERTAIN 2005 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES IN THE U.S. ADDITIONALLY, FOR U.S. 2003-2005 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES, GM WILL PROVIDE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (IPC) ONLY, AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER FOR VERIFIED FAILURES BETWEEN 70,001 MILES (110,001 KM) AND 80,000 MILES (130,000 KM).

The vehicle mileage will be required when placing an order. Refer to GM Service Policies and Procedures Manual, section 1.5.9, for specific procedures. To eliminate keeping the customer's vehicle overnight, customers are being told to contact the dealership to arrange a service appointment and to supply their VIN. Dealers are to pre-order the IPC identifying the part from the Electronic Parts Catalog using the VIN filter so it will be at the dealership on the day of the scheduled appointment. 1. The customer will contact the dealership to arrange an appointment and provide their VIN. 2. Contact a GM Authorized Electronic Service Center to order an exchange and arrange for delivery of the pre-exchange product. 3. All units will be shipped FedEx Ground (US) or Purolator (Canada). 4. After removal of the defective unit, return IF YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS SPECIAL POLICY EITHER DUE TO MILEAGE OR AGE, THEN REPLACING YOUR IPC IS EASY, However, the New IPC will require programming with a TECH 2 to input the base programming and the Mileage and hours, so you may be able to change it out but will have to go to dealer or someone with access to GM Service Programming Systems.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
