Inspection Procedure

  1. CHECK COMBINATION METER ASSY (TAU, TAUB) 
    1. Remove the combination meter assy.
    2. Check voltage (TAUB signal).
      1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
      2. Measure the voltage between terminal C11-2 of combination meter connector and body ground.

      Standard voltage: 10 - 14 V

    3. Check voltage (TAU signal).
      1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
      2. Measure the voltage between terminal C11-3 of combination meter connector and body ground.

      Standard voltage: 10 - 14 V 

    4. Check signal waveform (TAU signal).
      1. Connect the oscilloscope to the terminals C11-3 of combination meter connector and body ground.
      2. Start engine.
      3. Check the signal waveform.
