CAUTION

Since the diagnosis code may be stored in the 
ABS-ECU when checking the speedometer with 
speedometer tester, erase the diagnosis code.

CAUTION

Do not accelerate or decelerate suddenly during 
servicing work.
1. Check that the current tyre inflation pressures 

meet the inflation pressure label.

3. For prevention of front wheel lateral runout, install 

extension fittings on front towing eye and tie down 
hook, and install both ends of anchor plate.

4. For prevention of vehicle from starting out, install 

chain or wire (the other end of which is tightly 
fixed on rear towing eye) on the vehicle.

5. Check that the speedometer indicating range is 

within the standard value or the needle fluctuation 
is within the limit.

TACHOMETER CHECK

M1543001000791

Check that the tachometer indicating tolerance is 
within the standard value when the actuator tests 
(item No.85 and 86) are performed using M.U.T.-III.
NOTE: The value in parentheses is a reference 
value.

When float of the fuel gauge unit is in stopper posi-
tions "F" and "E", ensure that resistance between the 
fuel gauge unit terminal and earth terminal is within

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

M1543019800156

CAUTION

When the battery cable is disconnected or the combination meter is removed, the fuel gauge learned 
value will be erased. To let the display unit re-learn it, enter the vehicle speed (by driving the vehicle 
or entering simulated vehicle speed) and then stop the vehicle. Service on a level surface (If the vehi-
cle is inclined, the measurement value will go out).
