★ If the display function does not work and adjust, replace the meter assembly.
Indicate the temp mode.
Check that when the button in TEMP mode is pushed for more than two seconds, the figure display turns to Celsius degree or Fahrenheit degree of water temperature.
Connect the 12 V battery and terminals in the same manner as specified in the "Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Segments Check".
The speed equivalent to the input frequency is indicated in the oscillator [A] if the square wave (illustrated as shown) would be input into the terminal [5].
Indicates approximately 60 mph in case the input frequency would be approximately 146 Hz.
Indicates approximately 60 km/h in case the input frequency would be approximately 91 Hz.
If the oscillator is not available, the speedometer can be checked as follows.
Install the meter unit.
Raise the rear wheel off the ground, using the jack.
Turn on the ignition switch.
Rotate the rear wheel by hand.
Check that the speedometer shows the speed.
★ If the speedometer does not work, check the speed sensor electric source voltage and speed sensor.
Connect the 12 V battery and terminals in the same manner as specified in the "Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Segments Check".
Set the hand tester to the DC25 V range and connect it to the terminals [2] and [4].
★ If the voltage is less than 7 V, replace the meter assembly.
Check the odometer with the speedometer in the same way.
★ If value indicated in the odometer is not added, replace the meter assembly.
Check the trip meter with the speedometer in the same way.
★ If value indicated in the trip meter is not added, replace the meter assembly.
Check that when the ODO/TRIP button is pushed for more than two seconds, the figure display turns to 0.0.
★ If the figure display does not indicate 0.0, replace the meter assembly.

★ If the oscillator is not available, the tachometer can be checked as follows.
Connect the 12V battery and terminals in the same manner as specified in the "Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Segments Check".
Using an auxiliary wire, open and connect the terminal [1] to the terminal [6] repeatedly.
Then the tachometer hand [A] should flick [B].
★ If the hand does not flick, replace the meter assembly.
Caution! Do not drop the meter unit. Place the meter unit so that it faces upward. If the meter unit is left upside down or sideways for a long time or dropped, it will malfunction.
Using the auxiliary wires, connect the 12V battery [A] to the meter unit connector [B] as follows.
Connect the battery positive terminal to the terminal [1].

- [1] Battery (Positive)
- [2] Battery (Negative)
- [3] Ignition
- [4] Speed Sensor Electric Source
- [5] Speed Sensor Pulse
- [6] Tachometer Pulse
- [7] Water Temperature
Caution! Do not short the terminals [2], [4] and [4], [5].
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Segments Check:
Connect the battery positive terminal to the terminal [1].
Connect the battery negative terminal to the terminal [2].
Connect the terminal [1] to the terminal [3].
