Instrument Cluster Inspection
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INSPECTIONSpeedometer
Using the input/output check mode
1. Inspect the speedometer by setting it in the input/output check mode DTC 12.
Using a speedometer tester
1. Adjust the tire air pressure to the specification.
2. Using a speedometer tester, verify that the speedometer indication is within the allowable ranges shown in the above table.
3. Verify that fluctuation of the speedometer needle is within the allowable range.
- If the speedometer needle does not move or the indication is outside of the allowable range, inspect the PCM, TCM, ABS HU/CM (vehicles with ABS), VSS (vehicles without ABS) and related wiring harnesses.
- If the PCM, TCM, ABS HU/CM (vehicles with ABS), VSS (vehicles without ABS) and related wiring harnesses are normal, replace the instrument cluster.
Needle fluctuation allowable range Within 3.0 km/h
Tachometer
Using the input/output check mode
1. Inspect the tachometer by setting it in the input/output check code 13.
Using the SSTs (WDS or equivalent)
CAUTION: If the engine speed exceeds the allowable range, the engine could be damaged. Therefore, when inspecting the tachometer, do not allow the engine speed to exceed the allowable range indication on the tachometer.
1. Connect the SSTs (WDS or equivalent) to the vehicle DLC-2 16-pin connector.
2. Access and monitor PIDs by SSTs (WDS or equivalent).
Fuel Gauge
1. Inspect the fuel gauge by setting it in the input/output check code 23.
Water Temperature Gauge
1. Inspect the water temperature gauge by setting it in the input/output check code 25.
