Default Re: Tire size/Speedometer accuracy

"The speedometer receives wheel speed data from the CAB via the CAN data bus"

So it is coming from the antilock braking module and probably a meld of all four wheel sensors plus steering and lateral acceleration factors. We would need to know the ABS programming to know which is chosen in the event of a mismatch or what fudge factors are thrown in and when.

Computer may use other sensors but that is where the speedo gets its signal.
