On-Vehicle Inspection

  1. CHECK SPEEDOMETER 
    1. Check operation.
      1. Using a speedometer tester, check that the speedometer reading is within the allowable range shown in the table below. Also, check for proper operation of the odometer.

        Reference 

        SPEEDOMETER ALLOW ABLE RANGE

        Standard Indication Allowable Range
        20 mph 19.5 to 22.5 mph
        40 mph 39.5 to 44 mph
        60 mph 61.5 to 65.5 mph
        80 mph 82 to 86.5 mph
        100 mph 103 to 108 mph
        NOTE: Do not use worn, under inflated or overinflated tires, as the speedometer reading will be inaccurate.
      2. Check the deflection width of the speedometer indicator.

        Reference: 

        Below 0.3 mph 

        If the result is not as specified, the speedometer may have a malfunction.

  2. CHECK TACHOMETER 
    1. Check operation.
      1. Connect a tune-up test tachometer, and start the engine.
        NOTE:
        • Do not reverse the connections of the tachometer. This will damage its transistors and diodes.
        • When removing or installing the tachometer, be careful not to drop or strike it.
      2. Compare the tester tachometer values and vehicle tachometer values under the following conditions:
        • Vehicle battery voltage is 13.5 V
        • Ambient temperature is 25°C (77°F)

          OK 

          TACHOMETER ACCEPTABLE RANGE

          Standard Tachometer Indication (rpm) Acceptable Range (rpm) Data in ( ) are for reference only
          700 630 to 770
          1,000 (900 to 1,100)
          2,000 (1,850 to 2,150)
          3,000 2,800 to 3,200
          4,000 (3,800 to 4,200)
          5,000 4,800 to 5,200
          6,000 (5,750 to 6,250)

        If the result is not as specified, the tachometer may have a malfunction.

  3. CHECK FUEL RECEIVER GAUGE 
    1. Disconnect the F14 gauge connector.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON, and then check the position of the receiver gauge needle.

      OK: 

      Fuel receiver gauge indicates E 

    3. Connect terminals 2 and 3 of the wire harness side connector.
    4. Turn the ignition switch ON, and then check the position of the receiver gauge needle.

      OK: 

      Fuel receiver gauge indicates F
