ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT SPEEDOMETER ON-VEHICLE
Using a speedometer tester, inspect the speedometer for allowable indication error and check the operation
of the odometer.
HINT:
Tire wear and tire over or under inflation will increase the indication error.
If error is excessive, replace the speedometer.

2. INSPECT TACHOMETER
(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 re-
moving or installing the tachometer, be careful not to drop or subject it to heavy shocks.
(b) Compare the tester and tachometer indications.
DC 13.5 V 25°C (68°F)
Standard indication (rpm)Allowable range (rpm)
700610 - 750
3,0002,850 - 3,150
5,0004,850 - 5,150
7,0006,790 - 7,210
If error is excessive, replace the tachometer.
