** SOLUTION **
Title
Vehicle Speed Factor (K-Factor) Programming - Speed Factor Value Incorrect When
Calculated In Premium Tech Tool (PTT); Speedometer Reading Incorrectly Following A
Change To Vehicle Speed Factor - US17+OBD16 And Newer Emissions, Common
Model Year 2018 And Newer
Cause
Newer vehicles may display an incorrect speedometer reading in the Instrument Cluster
following changes made to the vehicle speed factor following a drive axle ratio or tire
size/model change.
This issue is caused by a conversion error in PTT. It has been determined that the
calculated value is correctly displayed, but the value that is programmed is incorrect.
Solution
Prior to performing any steps below, ensure that PTT is the current version. At the
time of this solution's composition, PTT version 2.6.70 is the current release. The
conversion error will be fixed in a future release. If a newer version is available,
PTT should be updated and the issue confirmed to still exist prior to proceeding.
A. Calculate the Vehicle Speed Factor
1. Run PTT Operation 3829-08-03-06 Vehicle Speed Factor, located under the
Calibrate tab.
2. Enter the Drive axle ratio and Tire revs / mile as required
3. Press the Play button in the Step 1 box on the left-hand side of the screen. The
Calculated Value box will display the Speed Factor. This value is correctly
calculated.
4. DO NOT PRESS PLAY IN THE STEP 2 BOX. Copy or record the value
displayed in the Step 1 box, then exit the Operation.
B. Program the Calculated Value
1. Run PTT Operation 1700-22-03-03 Parameter Programming, located under the
Program tab.
2. Once parameters have loaded, search for or locate parameter MH, Vehicle Speed
Factor US.
3. Enter the value that was copied or recorded in Part A as the new value for
parameter MH.
4. Complete the parameter programming operation to save the new Vehicle Speed
Factor value.
