GENERAL INFORMATION
M1541000100089
CAUTION
When reconnecting the battery after the battery
line is disconnected, the speedometer needle
returns to the zero position. Also, when the
gauge functions are lost because of a voltage
drop by cranking or others, the same operation is
performed as for the voltage return. However,
both cases are not failures.

it passes AC current, impedance (resistance against
AC) decreases, and current flow is facilitated. A

Malfunctions involving the tape becoming caught in
the mechanism and ruining the case are also possi-
