Yup. Late cars had a shorter (I think!) speedo cable that ran to this box instead of the speedo. Another cable ran from the box to the speedo. It would illuminate the EGR and/or CAT lights on the dash after a certain number of miles, and could be reset by pressing the appropriate button on the box.
Easy to bypass by using a standard speedo cable and running it directly to the speedo. --DD |
