Purpose
The tachometer notifies the driver of the engine speed.
Function
The instrument cluster controls the tachometer needle based on the engine speed signal from the PCM and displays the engine speed per minute.
Construction
An analog needle display tachometer with a stepping motor mechanism has been adopted.

Operation
The instrument cluster receives (1) the engine speed signal from the PCM when the ignition is switched ON (engine on).
The instrument cluster moves the needle based on the engine speed signal and displays (2) the current engine speed.

Fuel Requirements
Vehicles with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors must use ONLY UNLEADED FUEL,
which will reduce exhaust emissions and keep spark plug fouling to a minimum.

Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Heater Control
Outline
Based on the control of the A/F sensor heater, a stabilized oxygen concentration
is detected even at low exhaust temperatures, and feedback control of fuel injection
even at cold engine start is made possible for improved cold temperature exhaust
emission performance.
