Mazda 3 Service Manual: Instrument Cluster Inspection
Speedometer
Using a speedometer tester
CAUTION:
-
When only the front or the rear wheels are driven using a speedometer tester, the ABS or DSC may determine that the vehicle speed signal is in error and the engine cannot be stopped by the normal operation. If the engine cannot be stopped, perform an emergency engine stop operation..
1. Adjust the tire pressure to the specification.
2. Using a speedometer tester, verify that the tester reading is as indicated in the table below.
3. Verify that the speedometer reading is within the range indicated in the table.
-
If the speedometer does not move or the indication is not within the allowable range, inspect the PCM, ABS HU/CM (with ABS) or DSC HU/CM (with DSC), and related wiring harnesses.
-
If the PCM, ABS HU/CM (with ABS) or DSC HU/CM (with DSC), and related wiring harnesses are normal, replace the instrument cluster.
