   PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (TACHOMETER)

   
   

   1. Use the Active Test to check the operation of the tachometer (Click here).

      Table 2. Combination Meter

      Tester Display	Test Part	Control Range	Diagnostic Note
      TachoMeter Operation	Tachometer	0, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000 or 7000	Perform the test with the vehicle stopped and the engine idling.

      Tip:

      Make sure that the vehicle is stopped and the engine is idling.

      OK
      Needle indication is normal.

   READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (TACHOMETER)

   
   

   1. Use the Data List to check if the tachometer is operating properly (Click here).

      Table 3. Combination Meter

      Tester Display	Measurement Item/Range	Normal Condition	Diagnostic Note
      Engine Rpm	Engine speed/Min.: 0, Max.: 12750	Idling: 700 to 800	Unit: rpm

      OK
      Engine speed displayed on the intelligent tester is almost the same as the actual engine speed.

   READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ENGINE SPEED)

   
   

   1. Use the Data List to check the engine speed (Click here).

      Table 4. Engine (for ZR Series Engine)

      Tester Display	Measurement Item/Range	Normal Condition	Diagnostic Note
      Engine Speed	Engine speed/ Min.: 0 rpm, Max.: 16383 rpm	580 to 680 rpm: Idling (for Manual Transaxle) 600 to 700 rpm: Idling (except Manual Transaxle)	-
      Vehicle Speed	Vehicle speed/ Min.: 0 km/h, Max.: 255 km/h	Actual vehicle speed	The speed is indicated on the speedometer.

      Table 5. Engine (for 1WW)

      Tester Display	Measurement Item/Range	Normal Condition	Diagnostic Note
      Engine Speed	Engine speed/ Min.: 0 rpm, Max.: 16383 rpm	Min.: 0 rpm, Max.: 16383 rpm	When the crankshaft position sensor is malfunctioning, "Engine speed" is approximately 0 or varies greatly from the actual engine speed.
      Vehicle Speed	Vehicle speed/ Min.: 0 km/h, Max.: 255 km/h	Actual vehicle speed	-

      Table 6. Result

      Result	Proceed to
      Engine speed displayed on intelligent tester is almost same as actual engine speed	A
      Engine speed displayed on intelligent tester is not same as actual engine speed (for ZR Series Engine)	B
      Engine speed displayed on intelligent tester is not same as actual engine speed (for 1WW)	C
