| 4. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY |
Disconnect the S40 connector.

Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard Voltage:
Tester Connection
Condition
Specified Condition
S40-22 (SP1) - Body ground
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
10 to 14 V
|
|
||||
| OK | |
| 5. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY |
Check the input signal waveform.

Remove the combination meter assembly with connector(s) still connected.
Connect the oscilloscope to the terminals C9-18 (SPEED SIGNAL) and body ground.
Start the engine.
Check the signal waveform according to the condition(s) in the table below.
OK Item
Condition
Tool setting
5 V/DIV., 20 ms/DIV.
Vehicle condition
Driving at approx. 20 km/h (12 mph)
- OK:
- The waveform is displayed as shown in the illustration.
- HINT:
- As the vehicle speed increases, the cycle of the signal waveform narrows.
|
