ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION

1. INSPECT SPEEDOMETER

a. Check the operation.

1. Using a speedometer tester, inspect the speedometer for allowable indication error and check the operation of the odometer.

USA (mph):

CANADA (km/h):

NOTICE: Tire wear and tire over or under inflation will cause the indication error.

2. Check the deflection range of the speedometer indicator.

Reference: Below 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph)

2. INSPECT OUTPUT SIGNAL OF VEHICLE SPEED

a. Check the input signal wave form.

1. Remove the combination meter with connectors still connected.
2. Connect the oscilloscope to terminal C7−36 and body ground.
3. Start the engine.
4. Check the signal wave form. OK: Signal wave form generates.

HINT: A wave form as shown on the left appears if the voltage is 12 V under the following conditions:

HINT: As vehicle speed increases, the cycle of the signal wave form narrows.

3. INSPECT TACHOMETER

a. Check the operation

1. Connect a tune−up test tachometer, and start the engine.

NOTICE:

• Reversing the connection of the tachometer will damage the transistors and diodes inside.

• When removing or installing the tachometer, be careful not to drop or subject it to heavy shocks.

2. Compare the result of the test and tachometer indications.

DC 13.5 V, 25 C at (77 F)

b. Inspect the brake fluid level warning light.

1. Disconnect the connector from the brake fluid level warning switch and connect terminals on the wire harness side connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and check the warning light.

   OK : Brake fluid level warning light: Come on

10. INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING SWITCH

a. Inspect the continuity.

1. Remove the reservoir tank cap and strainer.
2. Disconnect the connector.
3. Check that the continuity exists between the terminals.

   OK: Float up (switch off): No continuity

4. Use a syphon, etc., to take fluid out of the reservoir tank.
5. Check that the continuity exists between the terminals.

   OK: Float down (switch on): Continuity

6. Pour the fluid back in the reservoir tank.
