Component Tests: Speedometer: Forester
- Ensure there is no Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) No. 2 related Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) present. If no VSS-related DTC is set, go to next step. If a VSS-related DTC is set, diagnose that DTC first. See appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
- Turn ignition off. Remove instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Turn ignition on. Check voltage between ground and instrument cluster harness connector terminal No. 7. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If voltage is greater than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is not greater than 10 volts, check for open in circuit or poor contact in harness connectors.
- Turn ignition off. Check resistance between ground and instrument cluster harness connector terminal No. 8. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If resistance is less than 10 ohms, check VSS No. 2. See VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR (VSS) . If resistance is not less than 10 ohms, repair harness connector.
