Default 93 Suburban trip meter - 12-18-2006 , 02:54 AM






My odometer works but the trip meter does not. Replaced instrumentation
cluster for other reasons, trip meter still does not work but the
odometer does. Any suggestion as to what the problem could be?

The speedo is electronic on a 93. Never had to repair one but it is
likely that there is two signals from ECM to it. one for speedo and
one for odometer. You might check wiring and ECM. (computer module)

Ken,

I have the same problem on my 93 c1500 cheyenne. Its been that way for
years.

Isn't that amazing? I bet we are not the only ones.

I've got the cluster with the tach...but I'd guess the trip mechanism is the
same.

Thanks, I have referred to the wiring diagrams but cannot find a
seperate circuit, so it must run with the odometer.

I have found this very frustrating, especial since there does not
appear to be any accurate information on correcting the problem.

I have GM dealer manual going back to 98 that "should" cover it but I
do not know if 93 and 98 uses same design.

There is a big writeup on trouble shooting it but it also mentions
OBD2 codes for it which your vehicle does not support.
