On-Vehicle Inspection

  1. CHECK SPEEDOMETER 
    1. Check the operation.
      1. Using a speedometer tester, inspect the speedometer for indication error and check the operation of the odometer.

        Reference (km/h)

        160 km/h 157.0 to 163.0 km/h

        Reference (mph) 

        SPEEDOMETER CHECK

        Standard indication Acceptable range
        20 mph 18.0 to 22.0 mph
        40 mph 38.0 to 42.0 mph
        60 mph 59.0 to 63.0 mph

        100 mph 99.0 to 104.0 mph
        120 mph 119.0 to 125.0 mph
        NOTE: Tire wear and over or under tire pressure will affect indication error.
    2. Check the deflection width of the speedometer indicator.

      Reference: Below 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph) 

  2. CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL OF VEHICLE SPEED 
    1. Check the output signal waveform.
      1. Remove the combination meter.
      2. Connect an oscilloscope to terminals C10-13 and the body ground.
      3. Start the engine.

      4. Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
        ITEM CONDITION

        Item Condition
        Tool setting 5 V/DIV., 20 msec./DIV.
        Vehicle condition Driving at approx. 20 km/h (12 mph)

        OK: As shown in  Fig 2 

        HINT:

        As vehicle speed increases, the cycle of the signal waveform narrows.

  3. CHECK FUEL RECEIVER GAUGE 
    1. Disconnect the F14 sender gauge connector.
    2. Turn the power switch ON (IG), then check the position of the receiver gauge needle.

      OK: Needle position is on EMPTY. 

    3. Connect terminals 5 and 6 on the wire harness side connector of the fuel sender gauge.
    4. Turn the power switch to the ON (IG), then check the position of the receiver gauge needle.

      OK: Needle position is on FULL.

  4. CHECK FUEL LEVEL WARNING 
    1. Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
    2. Turn the power switch ON (IG), check that the fuel level needle indicates EMPTY and fuel level warning light comes on.

      OK: Fuel level warning light comes on. 

  5. CHECK LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT 
    1. Disconnect the connector from the low oil pressure switch.
    2. Turn the power switch ON (IG).
    3. Ground the terminal of the wire harness side connector, then check the low oil pressure warning light.

      OK: Low oil pressure warning light comes on. 

  6. CHECK BRAKE WARNING LIGHT 
    1. Inspect the parking brake warning light.
      1. Disconnect the connector from the parking brake switch.
      2. Turn the power switch ON (IG).
      3. Ground the terminal of the wire harness side connector, then check the parking brake warning light.

        OK: Brake warning light comes on. 

    2. Inspect the brake fluid level warning light.
      1. Disconnect the connector from the brake fluid level warning switch.
      2. Turn the power switch ON (IG).
      3. Connect a terminal to the other terminal of the wire harness side connector, then check the brake fluid level warning switch.

        OK: Brake warning light comes on. 

  7. CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING SWITCH 
    1. Remove the reservoir tank cap and strainer.
    2. Disconnect the connector.
    3. Measure the resistance between the terminals.

      Standard resistance: Float up (switch off): 10 kΩ or higher 

    4. Use a syphon, etc. to take fluid out of the reservoir tank.
    5. Measure the resistance between the terminals.

      Standard resistance: Float up (switch off): 10 kΩ or higher 

    6. Pour the fluid back in the reservoir tank.
    7. Reconnect the connector.
  8. MAINTENANCE LIQUID RESETTING PROCEDURE (U. S. A. models) 

    Indicator condition 

    INDICATOR CONDITION

    State Condition Specified State
    Blinking Vehicle runs 4,500 miles after previous setting Indicator blinks for 15 seconds after power switch ON (IG) (including 3 seconds for a valve check)
    Continuously Illuminated Vehicle runs 5,000 miles after previous setting Indicator is continuously illuminated after power switch ON (IG)
    1. Press the ODO / TRIP switch until odometer displays "ODO".
    2. Turn the power switch OFF.
    3. Press and hold the reset switch, and turn the power switch ON (IG).
    4. After turning the power switch ON (IG), keep holding the reset switch for at least 5 seconds. The reset procedure is completed.

      HINT:

      • If the power switch is turned OFF during reset procedure, reset mode is canceled.
      • If the reset switch is turned off during the reset procedure, reset mode is canceled and the display shows the condition prior to the reset procedure.
  9. CENTERED VALUE SETTING (INCLINATION SENSOR) 

    Perform the following procedures to correct inclination of the meter and inclination sensors when installing / removing / replacing the meter or after replacing the inclination sensors or main base.

    1. Setting procedure
      1. Connect the connector and install the meter securely in the position shown in Fig 4 so that it is inclined at a 20 degree angle to the vehicle's vertical line A.

      2. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
      3. Turn the power switch ON (IG).
      4. Set the odometer display into the "TRIP A" mode.
      5. Turn the power switch OFF.
      6. Press and hold the ODO/TRIP switch while pressing the power switch twice ON (IG). (Do not put your foot on the brake.)
      7. Press the ODO/TRIP button (switch?) 3 times within 5 seconds and hold it at least 5 seconds until the Inclination Sensor Information is displayed on the odometer.
      8. Release the ODO/TRIP switch.
      9. Press and hold the ODO/TRIP switch for at least 5 seconds to update the centered value. The third digit will indicate the status. The value of "1" indicates a successful reset.

        HINT:

        • If "0", "2", or "3" is displayed, perform the procedure "Turn the power switch ON (IG)" again.
        • Once the reset is complete, the odometer will returns to normal.
      10. Release the ODO/TRIP button. (Once the reset is complete, the odometer will returns to normal.)
