Erratic Speedometer Operation on Dodge Spirit

Submitted by Vehicle Owner · May 29, 2025

Published by RepairPal

Problem overview

Erratic operation of the speedometer may be noted on vehicles equipped with a passenger side motorized seat belt. This is generally caused by a failed Passive Belt Control Module (PBCM). Our technicians tell us that if the speedometer functions correctly with the PBCM disconnected the PBCM should be replaced.
