On-Vehicle Inspection

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

1. INSPECT SPEEDOMETER




a. Check the operation.
1. Using a speedometer tester, inspect the speedometer for allowable indication error, and check the operation of the odometer.

NOTE: Tire wear and tire over or under inflation will increase the indication error.

2. Check the deflection width of the speedometer indicator.
Reference: Below 0.3 mph

2. INSPECT TACHOMETER
a. Check the operation.
1. Connect a tune-up test tachometer, and start the engine.

NOTE:
- Reversing the connection of the tachometer will damage the transistors and the diodes inside.
- When removing or installing the tachometer, be careful not to drop it or give it heavy shocks.




2. Compare the test with the tachometer indications.
DC 13.5 V, 25°C at (77°F)




3. INSPECT FUEL RECEIVER GAUGE
a. Inspect the circuit.
1. Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then check the position of the receiver gauge needle.
Needle position: EMPTY
3. Connect the positive (+) lead from the three 1.5 V dry cell batteries to terminal 2 and its negative (-) lead to terminal 3.
4. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal from the battery and wait at least 60 seconds.
5. Connect the negative (-) terminal to the battery and turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then check the position of the receiver gauge needle.
Needle position: FULL

4. INSPECT FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
a. Inspect the circuit.
1. Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and check that the fuel level needle indicates EMPTY and the fuel level warning light comes on.

5. INSPECT SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT (Driver's seat)
a. Check the operation.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and check that the warning light comes on.
2. Fasten the outer belt to the inner belt, and check that the warning light goes off.
3. Disconnect the connector from the buckle switch, and ground the terminal on the wire harness side connector.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and check that the warning light comes on.

6. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
a. Inspect the circuit.
1. Disconnect the connector from the low oil pressure switch.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Connect the terminal on the wire harness side connector and ground, then check that the low oil pressure warning light comes on.

7. INSPECT BRAKE WARNING LIGHT
a. Inspect the parking brake warning light.
1. Disconnect the connector from the parking brake switch, and ground the terminal on the wire harness side connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and check that the warning light comes on.

b. Inspect the brake fluid level warning light.
1. Disconnect the connector from the brake fluid level warning switch, and connect the terminals on the wire harness side connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and check that the warning light comes on.

8. INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING SWITCH
a. Inspect the continuity.
1. Remove the reservoir tank cap and the strainer.
2. Disconnect the connector.
3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) below.

Float up (switch off): 10 kOhms or higher

4. Use a syphon, etc., to take fluid out of the reservoir tank.
5. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) below.

Float down (switch on): Below 1 Ohm

6. Refill the reservoir tank with brake fluid.

9. INSPECT DRIVER'S SEAT BELT WARNING BUZZER
a. Check warning buzzer function.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and check that the driver's seat belt warning buzzer sounds if the driver's seat belt is not fastened.
2. Check that the buzzer stops approximately 4 to 8 seconds later.

10. INSPECT KEY REMINDER WARNING BUZZER
a. Check the warning buzzer function.
1. Turn the ignition switch off, and check that the key reminder warning buzzer sounds when the ignition key is inserted into the key cylinder and the front driver side door is opened.

11. INSPECT LIGHT REMINDER WARNING BUZZER
a. Check the warning buzzer function.
1. Turn the light control switch to the HEAD or TAIL position, and check that the light reminder warning buzzer sounds when the ignition key is not inserted into the key cylinder and the front driver side door is opened.
