What is the reason why the car tachometer does not return to zero?
1 Answers
The reasons why the car tachometer does not return to zero are: 1. The speedometer in the vehicle instrument cluster malfunctions, causing the tachometer needle to stop moving; 2. The vehicle's mileage sensor fails. Check if the flexible shaft connection is disconnected and observe whether the mileage starts to increase. If only the tachometer stops working, it needs to be replaced with a new one; 3. Foreign objects inside the instrument panel are stuck and cannot move. Open the instrument panel to remove the foreign objects. The tachometer is usually located inside the instrument panel, placed symmetrically with the speedometer. It operates based on magnetic principles, receiving pulse signals generated when the primary current in the ignition coil is interrupted, and converting these signals into displayable RPM values. The faster the engine speed, the more pulses the ignition coil generates, resulting in a higher RPM value displayed on the tachometer.
