Inspection
Speedometer
1. Using a speedometer tester, check the speedometer for ai-
lowable indication error, and check the operation of the
odometer. Replace if necessary.
2. Check the speedometer for fluctuation and/or abnormal
noise.
Caution
l If significant fluctuation occurs or the speedome-
ter does not move at all, remove the speedometer
cable. If it is normal, replace the speedometer as-
sembly.
l Tire wear and improper inflation will Increase
speedometer error.
Tachometer
1. Connect a test tachometer to the engine, and start the
engine.
2. Check the tachometer for allowable indication error. Replace
if necessary.
Caution
l When removing or installing the tachometer, do not
drop it or subject it to sharp shocks.
Fuel gauge
1. Remove the instrument cluster. (Refer to page T-69.)
2. Apply battery voltage to terminal 2L and ground terminal 2E.
3. Connect the red lead of the
SST to terminal 1C and the
black lead to a negative battery terminal.
4. Set the
SST to the resistance values shown in the figure.
5. Verify that the needle indicates the correct values.
Caution
l Continue the above checks for at least two minutes
each to correctly judge the condition.
l The allowable indication error is twice the width of
the needle.
