IVA - Reverse test
Toprivetguns - 14/2/16 at 09:57 AM

Morning all,

Reading through the IVA manual chapter 17 Speedo and Reverse. It mentions ''VOSA examiner to refer to the VOSA Technical Work Instructions WI-5.4.1-16 Speedo when carrying out this test''

Does anyone know or remember what this test it ?

Just wishing to test my starter motor reverse and battery capability.

Going by a couple of m8's tests they only move it a few feet in reverse on the flat.

I believe what they are referring to is that the speedo won't run in reverse and run the milometer backwards

Agreed, but there is still a requirement for the vehicle to move in reverse under its own power.

Yeah which is what I thought the OP was concerned about as he asked about battery/starter testing
