Speedometer off

[ojd]

My speedometer is 9 km/h behind. I.e. when driving 80 km/h the speedometer shows 89 km/h. What can be done?

fit bigger tires is the easy fix.
harder fix is to recalibrate the speedo. it depends on what year your ute is.
late models utes sometimes do a trick where they are correct at 50km/h but 10km/h out at 100km/h.

It's common with all vehicles manufacturers. Protects them from being sued when you get done for speeding and you defence is the manufacturers speedo was inaccurate.

Use a GPS for speed measurement. It's accurate to about 1% - so at 100km/h indicated by the GPS, you could be travelling at anything between 99 and 101 km/h.

Yeah I use my phone for speedo. On my old trooper you could change a small wheel on the gear box to suit the tires. But I guess buying bigger tires is the easy solution

I have the same problem.
GPS says 110, speedo says 120, ECU says about 101.
I follow the GPS speed.
