        220 km/h 219.0 to 230.0 km/h
        240 km/h 239.0 to 251.0 km/h
        NOTE: Tire wear, as well as over or under inflation will cause errors.
      2. Check the deviation from the acceptable value of the speedometer indication.

        Reference: Below 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph) 

  2. INSPECT TACHOMETER 
    1. Check operation
      1. Connect the tune-up test tachometer and start the engine.
        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 subject it to heavy shocks.
      2. Compare the result of the test with the standard indication.

      DC 13.5 V, at 25°C (77°F) 

      STANDARD INDICATION

      Standard indication (r/min) Acceptable range (r/min) Data in () are for reference
      700 630 to 770
      1,000 (900 to 1,100)
      2,000 (1,850 to 2,150)
      3,000 2,800 to 3,200
      4,000 (3,800 to 4,200)
      5,000 4,800 to 5,200
      6,000 (5,750 to 6,250)
      7,000 6,700 to 7,300
  3. INSPECT FUEL RECEIVER GAUGE 
    1. Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
    2. Turn the ignition switch on (IG), then check the position of the receiver gauge needle.

      OK: 

      Needle position is on (EMPTY). 

    3. Connect terminals 2 and 3 on the wire harness side connector of the fuel sender gauge.
    4. Turn the ignition switch on (IG), then check the position of the receiver gauge needle.

      OK: 

      Needle position is on (FULL).

  4. INSPECT FUEL LEVEL WARNING 
    1. Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
    2. Turn the ignition switch on (IG), then check that the fuel level needle indicates EMPTY and the fuel level warning light comes on.

      OK: 

      Fuel level warning light comes on. 

  5. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT 
    1. Disconnect the connector from the low oil pressure switch.
    2. Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
    3. Ground the terminal of the wire harness side connector, then check the low oil pressure warning light.

      OK: 

      Low oil pressure warning light comes on. 

  6. INSPECT BRAKE WARNING LIGHT 
    1. Inspect the parking brake warning light.
      1. Disconnect the connector from the parking brake switch.
      2. Turn the ignition switch on (IG).

    3. Measure the resistance between the terminals.

      Standard: 

      Float up (switch off): 10 kΩ or higher 

    4. Use a siphon, etc. to take fluid out of the reservoir tank.
    5. Measure the resistance between the terminals.

      Standard: 

      Float down (switch on): Below 1 Ω 

    6. Pour the fluid back in the reservoir tank.
  8. MAINTENANCE INDICATOR LIGHT RESETTING PROCEDURE 

    Indicator Condition: 

    SPECIFIED STATE

    State Condition Specified State
    Blinking The vehicle runs 4,500 to 5,000 miles after the previous setting The indicator blinks for 12 seconds after the ignition switch is on (IG) (including 3 seconds for a bulb check).
    Continuously Illuminated The vehicle runs over 5,000 miles after the previous setting The indicator is continuously illuminated after the ignition switch is on (IG).
    1. Set the display window to ODO.
    2. Turn the ignition switch off.
    3. While pressing the reset switch, turn the ignition switch on (IG). Keep pressing the reset switch for at least 5 seconds to complete the reset procedure. Check that the "MAINTENANCE" indicator light goes off.

      HINT:
