   1. Remove the light control rheostat, refer to REMOVAL .
   2. Measure the resistance according to the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
      6 (TC) - 1 (E)	TAIL cancel switch off → on	10 kΩ or higher → Below 1 Ω
      5 (T) - 1 (E)	Always	10 kΩ or higher
      7 (TR) - 1 (E)	Light control rheostat fully turned right → fully turned left	10 kΩ or higher → Below 100 Ω

2. Inspect the trip switch.
   1. Measure the resistance according to the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
      4 (A/B) - 1 (E)	TRIP switch on (Pushed)	Below 200 Ω
      	TRIP switch off (Not Pushed)	1 MΩ or higher

1. Disconnect the E8 meter connector.
2. Disconnect the E9 rheostat connector.
3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard Resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   E8-18 (ILL+) - E9-5 (T)	Always	Below 1 Ω
   E8-19 (TR) - E9-7 (TR)
   E8-23 (E2) - E9-1 (E)
   E8-20 (TC) - E9-6 (TC)

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

OK: Go to next step 

1. Replace the combination meter assembly with a new or normally operating one. Perform an operation inspection.

   OK

   Combination meter assembly operates normally.
