  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the tester ON.
    4. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / OBD/MOBD / METER / ACTIVE TEST.
    5. Check the values by referring to the table below.

    METER: 

    METER DIAGNOSTIC REFERENCE

    Item Test Details Diagnostic Note
    TACHO METER 0, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 6,000, 7,000, 8,000 (rpm) -

    OK: 

    Needle indication is normal. 

    NG : REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    OK : Go To Next Step 

  2. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (ENGINE SPEED SIGNAL) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the tester ON.
    4. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / OBD/MOBD/ METER / DATA LIST.

    TACHO METER Engine speed/Min.: 0 rpm, Max.: 12,750 rpm Almost same as actual engine speed (When engine is running) -

    OK: 

    Engine speed displayed on the tester is almost the same as the actual engine speed. 

    NG : Go to step 3 

    OK : REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

  3. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (ENGINE SPEED SIGNAL) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Engine switch on (IG).

    NG : REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK : Go To Next Step 

  5. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Check the input signal waveform.
      1. Remove the combination meter with the connector still connected.
      2. Connect the oscilloscope to the terminal J34-16 (S) and body ground.
      3. Start the engine.
