When speedometer
is functioning properly, this
test
is not necessary. Go to "Meter Output check"
1 Remove cluster lid A
2 Connect a voltmeter between @ and @ on
cornbination meter side. Combination meter
harness connector should remain connected to
instrument harness
Switch ignition switch from "OFF" to
"ON"
Voltmeter should indicate approximately 5
volts when switch is "ON"
If voltmeter indicates no voltage, go to "Power
Unit Check".

Slowly turn speed sensor rotor shaft with a
suitable screwdriver to make sure voltmeter

Do not turn rotor shaft quickly as voltmeter
deflects
