        Reference: mph (U.S.A.) 

        SPEEDOMETER - MPG (U.S.A.)

        Chassis dynamometer indication Acceptable range
        20 mph 20.0 to 23.0 mph
        40 mph 40.0 to 43.5 mph
        60 mph 60.0 to 64.0 mph
        80 mph 80.0 to 84.5 mph
        100 mph 100.0 to 105.0 mph
        120 mph 120.0 to 125.5 mph
        140 mph 140.0 to 146.0 mph
        160 mph 160.0 to 166.5 mph

        Reference: km/h (Canada) 

        SPEEDOMETER KM/H (CANADA)

        Chassis dynamometer indication Acceptable range Data in () is for reference
        20 km/h (17.5 to 21.5 km/h)
        40 km/h 38.0 to 42.0 km/h
        60 km/h 58.0 to 63.0 km/h
        80 km/h 78.0 to 84.0 km/h
        100 km/h 98.5 to 104.5 km/h
        120 km/h 119.0 to 125.0 km/h
        140 km/h 139.0 to 146.0 km/h
        160 km/h 159.0 to 167.0 km/h
        180 km/h 179.0 to 188.0 km/h
        200 km/h 199.0 to 209.0 km/h
        220 km/h 219.0 to 230.0 km/h
        240 km/h 239.0 to 251.0 km/h
        NOTE: Tire wear, as well as over or under inflation will cause errors.
      2. Check the deviation from the acceptable value of the speedometer indication.

        Reference: Below 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph) 

  2. INSPECT OUTPUT SIGNAL OF VEHICLE SPEED 
    1. Check for the signal.
      1. While driving the vehicle at 10 km/h, check the voltage between terminals C9-1 and C9-18 of the combination meter assembly.

        OK: Fluctuation between 1V or less and 7.7 to 14 V is repeated 7 times within 1 sec. 

        NOTE: Check it with the ignition switch turned to the ON position and the connector connected.

  3. INSPECT TACHOMETER 
    1. Check operation.
      1. Connect the tune-up test tachometer, and start the engine.
        NOTE:
        • Reversing the connection of the tachometer will damage the transistors and the insides of the diodes.
        • When removing or installing the tachometer, be careful not to drop or subject it to heavy shocks.
      2. Compare the result of the test with the standard indication.

        DC 13.5 V, 25°C (77°F)
