   Standard indication	Acceptable range
   20 mph	21.0 to 23.5 mph
   40 mph	42 to 44.5 mph
   60 mph	62.5 to 66.0 mph

   NOTICE:

   Do not use worn, underinflated or overinflated tires, as the speedometer reading will be inaccurate.

2. Check the deflection width of the speedometer indicator.
   

   Reference:

   Below 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph)
   

Inspect the tachometer.

1. Connect the tune-up test tachometer and start the engine.
   

   NOTICE:

   1. Reversing the connection of the tachometer will damage the transistors and the insides of the diodes.
      
   2. When removing or installing the tachometer, be careful not to drop or strike it.
      

2. Compare the result of the test with the standard indication.
   

   1. DC 13.5 V, at 25°C (77°F)
      
      

      Reference:

      
      

      Standard indication (rpm)	Acceptable range (rpm) Data in ( ) are for reference
      700	630 to 770
      1,000	(900 to 1100)
      2,000	(1850 to 2150)
      3,000	2800 to 3200
      4,000	(3800 to 4200)
      5,000	4800 to 5200
      6,000	(5750 to 6250)
      7,000	6700 to 7300
      8,000	(7700 to 8300)

Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.

Turn the engine switch on (IG), then check the position of the receiver gauge needle.

OK:

Needle position is on EMPTY

Connect terminals 2 and 3 on the wire harness side connector of the fuel sender gauge.

Turn the engine switch on (IG), then check the position of the receiver gauge needle.

OK:

Needle position is on FULL

Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.

Turn the engine switch on (IG), then check that the fuel level needle indicates EMPTY and the fuel level warning light comes on.

OK:

Fuel level needle indicates EMPTY and warning light comes on.

Inspect the parking brake warning light.

1. Disconnect the connector from the parking brake switch.
   

2. Turn the engine 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.
   

Inspect the brake fluid level warning light.

1. Disconnect the connector from the brake fluid level warning switch.
   

2. Turn the engine 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.
   

Remove the reservoir tank cap and strainer.

Disconnect the connector.

Measure the resistance between the terminals.

Standard:

Float up (switch off): 10 kΩ or higher

Use a siphon, etc. to take fluid out of the reservoir tank.

Measure the resistance between the terminals.

Standard:

Float down (switch on): Below 1 Ω

Pour the fluid back in the reservoir tank.

Disconnect the connector from the washer level warning switch.

Turn the engine switch on (IG).

Ground the terminal of the wire harness side connector, then check the washer level warning light.

OK:

Washer level warning light comes on.

Dot display inspection mode

HINT:

1. Dot display inspection mode can be exited by turning the engine switch from on (IG) to off.
   
2. Dot display inspection mode can be performed using the intelligent tester's Active Test (Click here)
   

1. With the engine switch off, turn the engine switch on (IG) while pressing the steering pad switch's DISP switch.
   

2. All of the multi-display's dots will illuminate.
   





3. When all of the dots are illuminated, check that the display is not damaged.
