      OK: Engine speed displayed on the tester is approximately the same as that of the tachometer reading. 

    NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY  (See REMOVAL  )

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (TACHOMETER) 
    1. Connect a Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Engine start and turn the tester on.
    3. Operate the Techstream according to the display and select "Data List" (See DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST  ).

      Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List: 

      BODY ELECTRICAL / COMBINATION METER / DATA LIST

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Engine RPM Engine speed
      Min.: 0
      Max.: 12,750
      Approximately same as actual engine speed (When engine is running) Unit: rpm

      OK: Engine speed displayed on the tester is approximately the same as that displayed on the combination meter. 

      NOTE: Determine whether the value displayed on the tester is within the acceptable range by referring to reference values described in "ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION " .

    NG: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY  (See REMOVAL  )

    OK : USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK  (See HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING )
