INSPECTION
1. INSPECT SPEEDOMETER ON−VEHICLE:
Using a speedometer tester, inspect the speedometer for allow-
able indication error and check the operation of the odometer.
HINT:
Tire wear and tire over or under inflation will increase the indica-
tion error.
If error is excessive, replace the speedometer.
Standard indicationAllowable range
2018 − 24
4038 − 44
6058 − 66
8078 − 88
10098 − 11 0
120118 − 132
2. INSPECT NO.1 VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR OPERA-
TION
(a) Connect the positive (+) lead from battery to terminal 1 and negative ( −) lead to terminal 2.
(b) Connect the positive (+) lead from tester to terminal 3 and
the negative ( −) lead to terminal 2.
(c) Revolve shaft.
(d) Check that there is voltage changer from approx. 0 V to 11 V or more between terminals 3 and 2.
HINT:
The voltage change should be 4 times per each revolution of
the No.1 vehicle speed sensor shaft.
If operation is not as specified, replace the sensor.
3. INSPECT TACHOMETER ON−VEHICLE:
(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.When removing or instal-
ling the tachometer, be careful not to drop or subject it to
heavy shocks.
(b) Compare the tester and tachometer indications.
If error is excessive, replace the tachometer.

11. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the receiver
gauge needle indicates COOL.
(c) Ground terminal on the wire harness side connector through a 3.4 W test bulb.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the bulb lights up and the receiver gauge needle moves to the hot side.
If operation is as specified, replace the sender gauge. Then re-
check the system.
If operation is not as specified, measure the receiver gauge re-
sistance.
12. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminals.
Between terminalsResistance (Ω )
A − B71 − 79
A − C117 − 141
B − C185 − 215
HINT:
Connect the test leads so that the current from the ohmmeter
can flow according to the above order. This circuit include the
diode.
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the receiver
gauge.
13. INSPECT OIL PRESSURE RECEIVER GAUGE OP-
ERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the receiver
gauge needle indicates LOW.

(c) Ground terminal on the wire harness side through a 3.4
W test bulb.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the bulb lights
up and that the receiver gauge needle moves to the high
side.
If operation is not as specified, measure the receiver gauge re-
sistance.
14. INSPECT OIL PRESSURE RECEIVER GAUGE RESIS- TANCE
Measure the receiver gauge resistance between terminals. Resistance:
40 − 48 Ω
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the receiver
gauge.
15. INSPECT OIL PRESSURE SENDER GAUGE OPERA-
TION
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Apply battery positive voltage to the sender gauge termi- nal through a test LED.
(c) Check that the bulb does not light when the engine is stopped.
(d) Check that the LED flashes when the engine is running. The number of flashed should vary with engine speed.
If operation is not as specified, replace the sender gauge.
16. INSPECT BRAKE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connectors from the level warning switch and parking brake switch.
(b) Connect terminals on the wire harness side connector of
the level warning switch connector.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the warning light lights up.
17. INSPECT PARKING BRAKE SWITCH
(a) Check that there is continuity between terminal and the switch set nut with switch pin released (parking brake le-
ver pulled up).
(b) Check that there is no continuity between terminal and the switch set nut with switch pin pushed in. (parking
brake lever released)
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.

If circuit is as specified, try another relay.
If the circuit is not as specified, check the circuits connected to
other parts.
24. INSPECT ENGINE OIL LEVEL WARNING SWITCH
(a) Check that there is continuity between terminal with the
switch 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.
