min rpm's??

Post by ka »

on this note, does anyone know the min rpm's? i just noticed that the other set of numbers is refering to low range max rpm's. i always thought it was min because i never looked close enough.

When you first turn key on it should flicker. I still wasn't convinced mine was working so I ran it up in low range till it came on. It REALLY made a racket. I don't suspect you would ever see that RPM in normal use.

If the light flickers when you first turn on the key, the module has passed it's function test.
You know, you could just install a tach if you just have to know the rpm's.
