L1: Check Vehicle Speed Sensor Signal

With the ignition key in the OFF position, connect a voltmeter between the Pink/Blue wire at the instrument cluster connector C3 and the Black/Red wire at the instrument cluster connector C2. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Place the voltmeter in the AC volts position and drive the vehicle at the speeds indicated below and chart their corresponding voltages. See SPEED-TO-VOLTAGE COMPARISON  .
