        140 km/h 144 - 176 km/h

        Note

        Tire wear and tire over or under inflation will increase the indication error.

      2. Check the deflection width of the speed meter indicator.

        Reference
        Below 0.5 km/h / 0.3 mph

  2. INSPECT OUTPUT SIGNAL OF VEHICLE SPEED

        Standard
        Fluctuation between 10 to 14 V or less is repeated 8 times within 1 sec.

        Note

        Check it with the ignition switch ON and the connector connected.

  3. INSPECT TACHOMETER


    1. Check the operation


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

        Note


        • Reversing the connection of the tachometer will damage the transistors and diodes inside.

        • When removing or installing the tachometer, be careful not to drop or subject it to heavy shocks.

      2. Compare the test and tachometer indications.

    A01KGIZE01
    Text in Illustration
    *a (Normal mode)
    *b (T-Belt mode)

    1. T-BELT mode display


      1. Turn ODO/TRIP display screen to ODO, and turn the ignition switch OFF.

      2. While pressing the trip switch, turn the ignition switch ON and hold it for 5 secs.

      3. Release the trip switch, then press the trip switch again within 5 secs.

      4. Transfer to T-BELT mode, and following initial setting value is displayed.

        km : 15 (0,000 km)

        mile : 9 (0,000 mile)

        Tech Tips

        If the meter has been replaced before, the displayed value might not be the initial setting value.

    2. Rewriting replacement setting value

      Press the trip switch and rewrite the replacement setting value.

      Conditions Setting value
      When a belt is replaced

      km : 15 (0,000 km)

      mile : 9 (0,000 mile)
      When a meter is replaced

      km : ( 15 (0,000 km)) - (Km when the meter is replaced.)

      mile : ( 9 (0,000 mile)) - (Mileage when the meter is replaced.)

      Tech Tips

      When pressing the trip switch, the displayed value is changed to 1 (0,000 km) / 1 (0,000 mile) for the first time and after this, increases in increments of 1 (0,000 km) / 1 (0,000 mile) up to 20 (0,000 km) / 20 (0,000 mile). If switch operation is not performed for more than 30 secs, the setting value will not be changed, the display screen turns to "ODO", and the mode returns to the normal mode.

    3. T-BELT mode completion

      Note

      If T-BELT mode is completed, even though belt replacement or meter replacement has not been performed, the T-BELT warning is reset.


      1. After setting the replacement setting value, hold the trip switch ON for more than 5 secs. then release the trip switch.

      2. Check that the display has changed to "ODO" and warning light has gone OFF.

  13. RESETTING OIL MAINTENANCE WARNING SYSTEM

    A01KFN4
    A01KGE7

    Tech Tips

    After an engine oil and oil filter change, even though the system has been reset, the warning light does not go out, or comes no again soon.


    1. Resetting the system.


      1. Turn the ignition switch ON.

      2. Remove the reset switch cover from the combination meter.

      3. Push the reset switch for at least one second with a thin object such as a pen tip.

      4. The engine oil change reminder light will go out.

        Note

        Reset the system only after an engine oil and oil filter change. If you reset the system at any other time, it cannot inform you of the correct time to change the engine oil and oil filter.

        Tech Tips


        • The system must also be reset if an engine oil and oil filter change is performed before the light comes on. In this case, when you push the reset switch, the light will come on. When you stop pressing the light will go out.

        • If you push the switch for too short a time the engine oil change reminder light may not go out. If this happens, reset the above procedure.
