3. Once plugged in, the console should display the Current Readings 

screen. If the display remains blank, check if the battery is properly 
installed in the unit. If it is, press MODE. If it remains blank, check 
the adapter cable and harness cable connections.

Configure the VSS Signal Settings

Because not all VSS signals are the 
same, you may need to change the 
default DIP switch setting on the 
VSS in-line circuit. 
• Switch 1 is used for square wave 

VSS signals which do not go to ground. 

• Switch 2 AC couples the signal in and is used for sine wave VSS 

signals.

• Switch 3 improves the sensitivity of AC coupled signals.
• Switch 4 turns on the LED test circuit.
Refer to the VSS DIP Switch Flow Chart on the following page when 
performing these steps:
1. Set the DIP switch as shown at the top of the chart.
2. Be sure to turn on switch 4 to enable the test LED.

Note: On the DIP switch, 0 (zero) is OFF and 1 is ON.   

3. Test drive the vehicle and observe the green test LED. 

Note: The DriveRIght unit must be plugged in for the LED to flash.

4. Refer to the flow chart and adjust the switch settings accordingly.
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as necessary to finish configuring the VSS sig-

nal.

6. Don’t forget to turn off the test LED, switch 4, when you are done.

Test and Calibrate the Installation

1. Go for a test drive and check the DriveRight speedometer reading. 

The reading will usually be incorrect unless the console was 
previously calibrated for your vehicle. 

Note: It is possible that the unit may sound an alarm unexpectedly during an initial test 

drive. The alarm can be caused by incorrect calibration along with the alarm 
being set or just by the login alarm being set. Enter a Driver ID code on the unit to 
silence the login alarm. If this does not work, you need to turn the alarm off. Con-
sult the DriveRight 600

E

 User’s Guide for specific instructions on entering a 

Driver ID code or turning off the alarm.

2. Refer to 

DriveRight 600

E

 User’s Guide

 for calibration instructions 

and calibrate the unit. If the speed is still incorrect, refer to the 

VSS Dip Switch
