  1. INSPECT SPEEDOMETER


    1. Check the operation.


      1. Using a speedometer tester (calibrated chassis dynamometer), check the speedometer indication according to the table below.

        Indicator Type: km/h (except Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom)
        Chassis Dynamometer Indication (km/h) Acceptable Range (km/h)
        20 21.1 to 24.5
        40 41.8 to 45.6
        60 62.4 to 66.8
        80 83.3 to 87.7
        100 104.2 to 108.6
        120 125.1 to 129.5
        140 146.0 to 150.4
        160 166.9 to 171.3
        180 187.8 to 192.2
        200 208.7 to 213.1
        220 229.6 to 234.0
        240 250.5 to 254.9
        Indicator Type: km/h (for Australia, New Zealand)
        Chassis Dynamometer Indication (km/h) Acceptable Range (km/h)
        20 21.1 to 24.5
        40 41.4 to 45.2
        60 61.6 to 66.0
        80 82.1 to 86.5
        100 102.6 to 107.0
        120 123.1 to 127.5
        140 143.6 to 148.0
        160 164.1 to 168.5
        180 184.6 to 189.0
        200 205.1 to 209.5
        220 225.6 to 230.0
        240 246.1 to 250.5
        Indicator Type: MPH (for United Kingdom)
        Chassis Dynamometer Indication (mph) Acceptable Range (mph)
        20 20.8 to 23.2
        40 41.6 to 44.2
        60 62.5 to 65.1
        80 83.4 to 86.0
        100 104.3 to 106.9
        120 125.2 to 127.8
        140 146.1 to 148.7

        Note

        Tire wear, over inflation, or under inflation will cause errors.

      2. Check the deviation from the acceptable range of the speedometer indication.

        Reference
        Less than 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph)

  2. INSPECT TACHOMETER


    1. Connect a tune-up tachometer, and start the engine.

    2. Compare the test results with the tachometer indications.

      Tune-up Tachometer Indication (rpm) Acceptable Range (rpm)
      1000 933 to 1067
      2000 1923 to 2077
      3000 2913 to 3088
      4000 3913 to 4088
      5000 4913 to 5088
      6000 5913 to 6088
      7000 6913 to 7088
      8000 7913 to 8088
