speedometer error - Toyota Yaris Forums

justanotherdrunk · 02-23-2016, 05:24 PM

mine reads 1.2 mph high at 70

when compared to my phone gps and an old garmin gps which agree perfectly

not as bad as the i3 which reads about 5 mph high!

My speedo consistently reads 2 MPH more than actual speed as verified by GPS.

What app are you guys using?

At Toyota service, they said that it is normal factory setting. I am using Garmin Nuvi GPS.
It reads 5 km/h more, up to 10 at high speed.

Since 2007, I've been posting here that the Yaris speedo is not accurate out of the box. When I changed the original tyre size on my '07 from 185/60/15 (23.7" diameter) to 205/50/16 (24.1" diameter), my speedo checked out to be dead on!
