INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR TROUBLE SYMPTOMS
Inspection Procedure 1
Speedometer does not work.
Probable cause
Examine the diagnosis codes registered in the engine-ECU. If no wheel speed
sensor-relating diagnosis code has been output, the wheel speed sensors are in order.
Malfunction of vehicle speed sensor

Malfunction of speedometer

Malfunction of harness or connector

Malfunction of relevant ECU
Disconnect the combination meter con-
nectors B-08 or B-09 and measure at
the harness sides.
1. Continuity between the terminal
No.11 and earth
OK: Continuity
2. Voltage between terminal No.51 and
earth.
OK: 4.7 V or more

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
SPEEDOMETER CHECK
1. Adjust the pressure of the tyres to the specified level.
2. Set the vehicle onto a speedometer tester and use wheel
chocks to hold the rear wheels.
3. Pull the parking brake lever firmly.
4. To prevent the front wheel from moving from side to side,
attach tension bars to the tie-down hook, and secure
both ends to anchor plates.
5. To prevent the vehicles from starting, attach a chain or
wire to the rear towing hook, and secure the other end
of the chain or wire firmly to an unmovable body.
6. Check if the speedometer indication range is within the
standard values and if the pointer fluctuation is within
the limits.
Caution
Do not operate the clutch suddenly. Do not
increase/decrease speed rapidly while testing.
Standard values:
Vehicle speed km/hSpeedometer indication
allowable errors km/h
4037 – 45
8075 – 88
120113 – 132
160150 – 176
Limit: Pointer fluctuation
(at vehicle speeds of higher than 35 km/h) ±3 km/h
TACHOMETER CHECK
1. Insert a paper clip in the engine speed detection connector
from the harness side, and attach the engine
speedometer.
2. Compare the readings of the engine speedometer and
the tachometer at every engine speed, and check if the
variations are within the standard values.
Standard values:
700 r/min : ±100 r/min
3,000
*1 r/min : ±150 r/min
3,000*2 r/min : +225 to –100 r/min
5,000*1 r/min : ±250 r/min
5,000*2 r/min : +325 to –125 r/min
6,000*1 r/min : ±300 r/min
7,000*2 r/min : +400 to –100 r/min
8,000*3 r/min : +400 to 0 r/min
NOTE
*1: Tachometer measurable up to 8,000 r/min
*2: Tachometer measurable up to 9,000 r/min and one measurable up to 10,000 r/min
*3: Tachometer measureble up to 10,000 r/min
