Using a speedometer tester, check the speedometer for allowable indication error, and check the operation of the odometer. Replace if necessary. 2. Check the speedometer for fluctuation and/or abnormal noise. If there is fluctuation or if the speedometer does not move, remove and inspect the speedometer cable. If it is in good condition, replace the speedometer as- sembly. TACHOMETER lnspection 1. Connect a test tachometer to the engine, and start the engine. 2. Check the tachometer for allowable indication error. Re- place if necessary. lnspection 1. Remove the instrument cluster. (Refer to page T-29.) 2. Apply battery positive voltage to terminal 2K and ground to terminal 2J. 3.
