SPEEDOMETER VELOCITY SPECIFICATION

TACHOMETER

1. Connect the scan tool to the diagnostic link connector or install a tachometer.

2. With the engine started, compare the readings of the tester with that of the tachometer. Replace the

tachometer if the tolerance is exceeded.

TACHOMETER REVOLUTION SPECIFICATION

FUEL GAUGE SENDER

1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of sender connector (A) at each

float level.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENDER

1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminal 2 and ground.

TERMINALS RESISTANCE CHART

OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

1. Check that there is continuity between the oil press switch terminal and ground with the engine off.

2. Check that there is no continuity between the terminal and ground with the engine running.

3. If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
