BODY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM – COMBINATION METER
OD TRIP METER INSPECTION
INSPECT OD/TRIP METER (in Telltale Light RH)
(a) Remove the telltale light with connector still connected.
(b) Check the continuity and voltage.

Tester connection to terminal number | Condition | Specified condition
7–Ground*1 | Constant | Continuity
1–Ground*1 | Ignition Switch "ON" position | Battery positive voltage
4–Ground*1 | Light Control Switch "TAIL" or "HEAD" position | Battery positive voltage
5–7*1 | Ignition Switch ON Drive the vehicle slowly | 0V ↔ Battery positive voltage
6–7*2 | Ignition Switch ON Drive the vehicle slowly | 0V ↔ more than 5V
8–Ground*1 | Constant | Battery positive voltage
10–Ground*1 | Ignition Switch ON, Light Control Switch TAIL or HEAD, Turn the light control Rheostat knob to clockwise | 6V → 0V
*1: If continuity or voltage are not as specified, check vehicle side.
*2: If voltage is not as specified, replace the telltale light.

(c) Connect terminals 2 and 3 on the wire harness side connector through a 3.4 W test bulb.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the bulb lights up and receiver gauge needle moves toward the full side.
HINT: Because of the silicon oil in the gauge, it will take a short time for the needle to stabilize.
If operation is not as specified, inspect the receiver gauge resistance.
