Speedometer Test
Ensure tires are correct size and inflated properly. Place vehicle on standard speedometer tester. Compare tester with speedometer readings. See SPEEDOMETER TEST table. If vehicle speedometer readings are not within allowable range, replace speedometer. If speedometer does not operate at all, check vehicle speed sensor. See SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
