    B: Go to CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM  (See CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM )

    A: GO TO NEXT STEP 

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER OR TECHSTREAM (SPEEDOMETER) 
    1. Operate the intelligent tester or Techstream according to the display and select "ACTIVE TEST" or "Active Test".
      1. Intelligent tester

        METER: 

        INTELLIGENT TESTER - METER

        OK: Needle indication is normal. 

    NG: REPLACE NO. 1 METER ECU 

    OK: GO TO NEXT STEP 

  3. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER OR TECHSTREAM (VEHICLE SPEED) 
    1. Operate the intelligent tester or Techstream according to the display and select "DATA LIST" or "Data List".
