I really don't understand what I am/or have been avoiding. Also, there is no "gear reading". It would have to be calculated from RPM and vehicle speed captured in a snap shot at the moment when a code is triggered. So one would effectively be solving a 3 variable equation with only 1 known value. Hardly conclusive at the Puma level. If this is truly a concern for anyone, it's easy enough just to either not go above the factory speed limit or disable the speed delimiting feature in the user adjustable menu.
