(Odometer and Twin Trip Switch)

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF
ODOMETER AND TWIN TRIP SWITCH

(See page

BE–103

)

INSPECTION OF ODOMETER AND TWIN
TRIP SWITCH

INSPECT ODOMETER AND TWIN TRIP SWITCH

(Continuity)
Inspect continuity between terminals.

If continuity is not as specified, replace the odometer and twin
trip switch.

(Speedometer)

INSPECTION OF SPEEDOMETER

INSPECT SPEEDOMETER (ON–VEHICLE)

Using a speedometer tester, inspect the speedometer for al-
lowable indication error and check the operation of the odom-
eter.
HINT: Tire wear and tire over or under inflation will increase
the indication error.
If error is excessive, replace the speedometer.
