        NOTE:
        • Reversing the connection of the tachometer will damage the transistors and the insides of the diodes.
        • When removing or installing the tachometer, be careful not to drop or strike it.
      2. Compare the result of the test with the standard indication.

        DC 13.5 V, at 25°C (77°F)

    3. While pressing the reset switch, turn the ignition switch OFF and ON again.
    4. Press the reset switch for more than 5 seconds.

      (The oil maintenance indicator illuminates for 3 seconds, and then flashes in accordance with the distance run*.)

      HINT:

      • *: If the distance run is less than 4,500 mile, the indicator turns off. If the distance run is between 4,500 mile and 4999 miles, the indicator flashes for 2 seconds.
      • If the distance run is more than 5,000 mile, the indicator turns off. If the reset switch is not pressed for at least 5 seconds, the reset procedure fails.
