Faulty signal. Permanent fault

Checking the connectors








Check the engine speed (RPM) sensor and engine control module (ECM) connectors for contact resistance and oxidation according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring And Terminals. Permanent Fault. Remedy if necessary.
Check in particular for damage or loose terminal pins.
Reconnect the connectors.
Start the engine. Allow the engine to run at idle speed for 30 seconds.
Ignition off for 30 seconds. NOTE! If the engine cooling fan (FC) is running, the ignition must be off for 30 seconds after the engine cooling fan (FC) has stopped.
Start the engine. Allow the engine to run at idle speed for 30 seconds.
Read off the status of the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).





Is the status intermittent?

Yes - Verification

No - Checking the wiring and components

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the wiring and components
Check the engine speed (RPM) sensor resistance. The resistance must be between 250-350 ohms.
Check the signal cables between engine control module (ECM) terminals 24 and 54 and engine speed (RPM) sensor terminals 1 and 2. Check for a short-circuit to ground and voltage, short-circuit to each other and for an open-circuit. See Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring And Terminals. Permanent Fault. Remedy if necessary.

Hint: With the ignition on, the voltage between the engine speed (RPM) sensor connector terminals 1 and 2 should be approximately 1.8 V with the reading taken at the ground terminal.
