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".

nected.
6. Disconnect combination meter harness from
instrument harness
as shown below, and con-
nect

Turn ignition switch "OFF" + "ON"
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.
