  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
        Chassis Dynamometer Indication (km/h)

        Acceptable Range (km/h)

        Data in ( ) is for Reference

        20 (21.0 to 25.0)
        40 41.7 to 46.2
        60 62.7 to 67.2
        80 83.4 to 88.4
        100 104.3 to 109.3
        120x 125.1 to 130.6
        140 145.8 to 151.8
        160 166.2 to 173.2
        180 186.9 to 194.5
        200 207.7 to 215.7
        220 228.4 to 236.8
        240 249.2 to 258
        260 270 to 279.2
        Indicator Type: mph
        Chassis Dynamometer Indication (mph) Acceptable Range (mph)
        20 21.0 to 23.5
        40 42.0 to 44.5
        60 62.5 to 66.0
        80 83.1 to 87.1

        140 145.4 to 150.7
        160 166.2 to 171.9
        180 187 to 193

  2. INSPECT TACHOMETER


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

    2. Compare the test results with the tachometer indications.

      Tech Tips

      DC 13.5 V, at 25°C (77°F)

      Tune-up Tachometer Indication (rpm)

      Acceptable Range (rpm)

      Data in ( ) is for Reference

      700 630 to 770
      1000 (900 to 1100)
      2000 (1850 to 2150)
      3000 2800 to 3200
      4000 (3800 to 4200)
      5000 4800 to 5200
      6000 (5750 to 6250)
      7000*1 (6700 to 7300)
      8000*1 (7700 to 8300)
