• For speedometer test or inspection/

maintenance (I/M) program of full-time
4WD vehicle, use a four wheel chassis
dynamometer.

• A 4WD vehicle should not be tested on

a 2WD drive roll tester. If a 2WD roll
tester must be used, perform the fol-
lowing:

1. Check the tire pressures recommend-

ed for your vehicle.

2. Place the rear wheels on the roll tester

for speedometer test as shown in the
illustration.

3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the front wheels on the tempo-

rary free roller as shown in the illustra-
tion.

Roll tester (speedometer)

Temporary free roller

CAUTION

Never engage the parking brake
while performing these tests.

CAUTION

While the full-time 4WD vehicle is
being raised on a jack, never start
the engine or cause the tires to
rotate.
There is the danger that rotating
tires touching the ground could
cause the vehicle to go off the jack
and to jump forward.
If one of the front or rear wheels
begins to spin in mud, snow, etc.
the vehicle can sometimes be driv-
en out by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal further; however avoid
running the engine continuously at
high rpm because doing so could
damage the 4WD system.

WARNING

Keep away from the front of the
vehicle while inspecting. This is
very dangerous as the vehicle can
jump forward and cause serious
injury or death.
