Speedometer Reading?

[dbulido]

Bakit mag iiba ang reading ng speedometer pag lumaki or lumiit yung gulon? Curios lang po.

[khayib]

You know, the odometer sensor is connected at the transmssion after the gears. It is designed to count the rotations of the shaft which drives the wheel and translates to the distance traveled. The reading takes into account the original size of the wheel (circumference). So, if you put a smaller wheel, the odometer indicates more than you really traveled (But you increased the torque at the wheels). Conversely, a bigger wheel results to under-registration.

larger tires means more distance traveled at the same rotation of the shafts/axles, vise versa for smaller tires/wheels.

sandali, ang tanong mo is bakit nagiiba ang reading ng speedometer? pano mo nalaman na nagiba nga?

hindi sya nagiiba, nagiging inaccurate lang. if you have large tire diameter than your stock tires, yung 100kph reading sa speedometer mo might translate into 105kph in actual speed.

nagiiba din ang circumference pag lumaki

[ian_rex]

ito po ay dahilan sa kapag ang isang gulong kapag lumaki, mas matagal o babagal complete ng isang revolution or ikot, gawa nang ang radius nito ay mas malaki. ganun din po kapag lumiit ang gulong. mas maliit ang radius kaya mas madali siyan maka-ikot, therefore, bibilis sya.

Thanks sa info. Nalinawan na ako. May nakita akong site may Tire Size Calculator check this out baka makatulong.

sabagay, may point ka jan.

di naman po nanunubok. nag search kasi ako sa yahoo while waiting for replies kaya nakita ko yung site. Thanks again.

ayun naman pala eh.
parang 'dick' din yan, pag maliit dapat mabilis,
otherwise di mararamdaman ng chikababe :bwahaha:

related question..

is it possible to remove/disconnect the speedometer sensor para di paikutin and mileage/km reading (sa hindi digital)? (maybe for purposes of limiting the recorded miles travelled..). where is the sensor located?

thanks!

the speedometer cable i connected to the transmission on most cars. usually car dealers remove this cable when they transit their brand new cars from the plant to their showrooms or from one showroom to the other, if, they don't use car carriers.

encee,
yup pwede tanggalin, pwede mo tanggalin yung cable sa transmission (hindi ko pa na-try) or hugutin mo yung cable sa likot mismo ng speedometer (meron clip) .. kelangan mo nga lang tanggalin yung dashboard cover depende sa car model..

pero hindi advisable tanggalin dahil hindi mo malalaman ang speed mo at kung kelan ang next tune-up..

109 hehehe hanep sa comparison...

tama si revogsx...unless lang na routine na yung mga byahe mo at medyo alam mo na kung ilang months yung inaabot nang 5K odometer readings mo....

ganyan kasi ang ginagawa nang mga jeepney drivers, by months yung calculation nila kung kelan magcha-change oil.....hehehe di naman kasi gumagana yung mga odometer nila eh...
