T INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STRUCTURAL VIEW 1. Speedometer 2. Tachometer 3. Water temperature gauge 4. Fuel gauge 5. Oil pressure gauge 6. Warning and indicator lights 7. Trip meter 8. Odometer DESCRIPTION Speedometer Two scales are shown on the speedometer face. The main scale for U.S. specification vehicles is MPH (0-140 MPH); the main scale for Canada specification vehicles is kmlh (0-220 kmlh). The odometer indication is the same as the main scale. Tachometer The tachometer has a RED STRIPED ZONE (6,500-7,000 rpm) that indicates momentary allowable engine speed. The engine should not be operated in the RED ZONE (7,000-8,000 rpm). Fuel Gauge 2 The fuel gauge continues to indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank after the ignition switch has been turned OFF. Gartner Banana

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. Connect the red lead of the SST to terminal 2L and the black lead to ground. 49 0839 285 Checker, fuel and thermometer For inspection of gauges ( ) ... CANADA ONLY I I 45UOTX-050 183R 2on (I sn) 4. Set the SST to the resistance values shown in the figure. To get an accurate reading, wait 2 minutes after setting each value. 5. Verify that the gauge indicates the correct values. The al- lowable indication error is twice the width of the needle. 6. If not as specified, replace the water temperature gauge. -/' Gartner Banana
