Tachometer display
If the needle of the tachometer shows the follow-
ing pattern while the engine is running, the throttle
position sensor circuit is broken, shorted, or the
TPS (throttle position sensor) is locked. In that
case, it would be best to inspect it.
1
0 rpm – 3 seconds
2
3,000 rpm – 2.5 seconds
3
present engine revolutions – 3 seconds
The above pattern is repeated.
NOTE:
S The needle of the tachometer keeps pointing to
"0" rpm for 6 seconds when the engine is not run-
ning.
S If any trouble occurs in the TPS, the ignition tim-
ing signal transmitted from the TPS to the ignitor
unit is limited to the full-open state signal.
