ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

SPEEDOMETER CHECK

M1540201400299

CAUTION

• Since the diagnostic trouble code may be stored in the 

ABS-ECU or ASC-ECU when checking the speedometer 
with speedometer tester, erase the diagnostic trouble 
code.

• Do not accelerate or decelerate suddenly during servic-

ing work.

1. Adjust the pressure of tires to the specified level (Refer to 

GROUP 31, On-vehicle Service 

P.31-8

).

2. Where applicable, ensure that the TPMS warning light is not 

illuminating or flashing.

3. <Vehicles with ASC> Press the ASC OFF switch for 3 

seconds or more to stop the ASC operation.

CAUTION

Set a free-roller on the rear tire for AWD.
4. For FWD vehicles, set the vehicle onto a speedometer 

tester and use wheel chocks to hold the rear wheels.

5. For AWD vehicles, set the vehicle onto a speedometer 

tester and place the rear wheels on a free roller.

6. To prevent the wheel from moving from side to side, attach 

tension bars to the tie-down hook, and secure both ends to 
anchor plates.

7. To prevent the vehicle from moving, attach a chain or wire to 

the rear retraction hook, and make sure the end of the chain 
or wire is secured.

8. Check if the speedometer indicator range is within the 

standard values.

Standard value <Except vehicles for CANADA>:

Standard value <Vehicles for CANADA>:

9. If not within the standard value, check the tire size. If an 

incorrect size of tire is used, replace it and check again. If 
the tire size is correct, a defect may be present in 
components and circuit between the ABS or ASC and the 
combination meter. Check the following items.

NOMINAL RESISTANCE OF THE FUEL LEVEL 
SENSOR

When float of the fuel level sensor is in stopper positions F and 
E, ensure that resistance between the fuel level sensor terminal 
and ground terminal is within the standard value.

Standard value: 

When the float is moved slowly between stopper positions "F" 
and "E", ensure that the resistance is smoothly changing.

.

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FLOAT HEIGHT

When float is moved to contact the float arm on the stopper, 
ensure that stopper positions "F" (height A) and "E" (height B) 
are within the standard value.

Standard value:
