With the ignition key in the OFF position, remove the instrument cluster. Leave the instrument cluster connected. Connect the Rotunda 88 Digital Multimeter 105-00053 or equivalent to measure engine speed. Turn the ignition key to the ON position allowing for the engine to be running. Measure the voltage on terminal 4 of the instrument cluster connector C3 on the back of the instrument cluster at the following engine speeds, see SPEED TO VOLTAGE COMPARISON  .
