Speedometer
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION OF SPEEDOMETER
(a) Using a speedometer tester, inspect the speedometer for allowable indicating error and check the operation of the odometer.
NOTE: Tire wear and tire over or under inflation will increase the indicating error.
(b) Check the speedometer for pointer vibration and abnormal noises.
NOTE: Pointer vibration can be caused by a loose speedometer cable.
