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.

2. w/ Tachometer:
INSPECT TACHOMETER ON-VEHICLE
(a) Connect a tune-up test tachometer, and start the engine.
NOTICE:
S Reversing the connection of the tachometer will dam-
age the transistors and diodes inside.
S When removing or installing the tachometer, be care-
ful not to drop or subject it to heavy shocks.
(b) Compare the tester and tachometer indications.
