The turn signal lights should flash 60 to 120 times par minute.
If one of the front or rear turn signal lights has an open circuit,
the numbers of flashed will be more than 140 par minute.
If operation is not as specified, replace the flasher.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR OPERATION
Check that there is continuity between terminals A and B four
times for every revolution of the speedometer shaft.
If operation is not as specified, replace the speedometer.
2. INSPECT FUEL RECEIVER GAUGE OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the receiver gauge
needle indicates EMPTY.
(c) Connect terminals 5 and 6 on the wire harness side con-
nector through a 3.4 W test bulb.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the bulb lights up
and the receiver gauge needle moves towards the full
side.
HINT:
Because of the silicon oil in the gauge, it will take a short time
for needle to stabilize.
If operation is not as specified, inspect the receiver gauge resis-
tance.
3. INSPECT FUEL RECEIVER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminals.
w/ Tachometer:
Between terminalsResistance (W)
A - BApprox. 115.8
A - CApprox. 177.2
B - CApprox. 61.4
