Electronic Pinion Factor

Electronic Pinion Factor
The vehicle speed sensor supplies distance pulses to the powertrain control module (PCM), which are used to calculated speed and mileage. A pinion factor is stored in the Transmission Control Module (TCM) in order to provide the appropriate distance pulses for the vehicle. The pinion factor is programmed into the TCM at the assembly plant.
