Display Check (Cont'd)
a Digital combination meter is provided with a
self-check function to determine whether or
not meter itself
is malfunctioning.
Test procedure
(1) While pushing trip reset switch A, switch igni-
tion switch from
"OFF" to "ON" Trip reset
switch
A should remain pushed in until self-
check operation start
(2) Meter starts to automatically perform self-
check. Segments for meters and gauges should
illuminate one after another.
(3) If any particular segment remains off, corn-
bination meter
itself is faulty.

Speed Sensor Signal Check
SPEED SENSOR OUTPUT CHECK
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
pointer deflects
Do not turn rotor shaft quickly as voltmeter
deflects
24 times per revolution of rotor shaft

If voltmeter pointer does not deflect, replace speed
sensor.
