COMPONENT SEFIVICE-METERS AND GAUGES
TACHOMETER
Inspection
Connect a tach-dwell meter, and then compare the
meter
readings
at
various engine speeds,with the values indicated on
the tachometer. If there is a large error, replace the
tachometer.

Caution
The tachoineter is the negatik-ground type, and therefore
should not be connected in rev&k polarity to the battery. If
the tkhometer is connected in reverse polarity, the transistors
and diodes will be damaged.
FUEL GAUGE AND UNIT
Inspection
FUEL GAUGE INDICATION TEST
Disconnect the wiring connector from the fuel gauge unit
inside the luggage compartment. Connect a resistance be-
tween the terminals and confirm the gauge indications.

FUEL GAUGE CONTINUITY TEST
Measure the resistance value between the terminals Iyith an
ohmmeter.

,NOTE
‘If the resistance value is extremely small, there may be a
short in the coil. If it is extremely large, there may be a
broken wire or some .other problem in the coil. In either
case, replace ‘the gauge.
