(a) Connect a tune±up test tachometer, and start the engine.
NOTICE: Reversing the connection of the tachometer
will damage the transistors and diodes inside.
(b) Compare the tester and tachometer indications.
If error is excessive, replace the tachometer.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT RECEIVER GAUGE OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the receiver gauge
needle indicates COOL.
(c) Ground terminal on the wire harness side connector through
a 3 W test bulb.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the bulb lights up and
the receiver gauge needle moves toward the hot side.
If operation is as specified, replace the sender gauge.
Then recheck the system.
If operation is not as specified, measure the receiver gauge
resistance.
2. INSPECT RECEIVER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminals.
HINT: Connect the test leads so that the current from the
ohmmeter can flow according to the chart order.
Between terminals Resistance ()
A±B
Approx. 229.7
A±C Approx. 54.0
B±C Approx. 175.7
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the engine
coolant temperature receiver gauge.
3. INSPECT SENDER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminal and gauge body.
Temperature °C (°F) Resistance ()
50 (122.0) 160 ~ 240
120 (248.0) 17.1 ~ 21.2
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the engine
coolant temperature sender gauge. BE±50

LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT SWITCH
(a) Check that there is continuity between terminal and ground
with the engine stopped.
(b) Check that there is no continuity between terminal and
ground with the engine running.
HINT: Oil pressure should be over 29 kPa (0.3 kgf/ cm
2, 4.3
psi)
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
2. INSPECT WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the warning switch and
ground terminal on the wire harness side connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the warning light lights
up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or inspect
wire harness.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL WARNING
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT SWITCH
(a) Check that there is continuity between terminal with the
switch in each position.
(b) Heat the switch to above 60°C (140°F) in an oil bath.
(c) Check that there is continuity between terminals with the
switch ON (float up).
(d) Check that there is no continuity between terminals with the
switch OFF (float down).
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
2. INSPECT WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the switch.
(b) Ground terminal 1 on the wire harness connector.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON. Check that the warning light
lights up approximately 40 seconds later.
If the warning light does not light up, inspect bulb or wire har-
ness.

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT SWITCH
(a) Remove the reservoir tank cap and strainer.
(b) Disconnect the connector.
(c) Check that there is no continuity between terminals with the
switch OFF (float up).
(d) Use syphon, etc. to take fluid out of the reservoir tank.
(e) Check that there is continuity between terminals with the
switch ON (float down).
(f) Pour the fluid back in the reservoir tank.
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
2. INSPECT WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the brake fluid warning
switch.
(b) Release the parking brake pedal.
(c) Connect terminals on the wire harness side of the level
warning switch connector.
(d) Start the engine, check that the warning light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or wire har-
ness.
PARKING BRAKE WARNING
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT SWITCH
(a) Check that there is continuity between terminal and switch
body with the switch ON (switch pin released).
(b) Check that there is no continuity between terminal and switch
body with the switch OFF (switch pin pushed in).
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch or inspect
ground point.
2. INSPECT WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the parking brake switch and
the brake fluid warning switch.
(b) Ground terminal on the wire harness side connector.
(c) Start the engine, check that the warning light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or inspect
wire harness. BE±52
