Checking The Component And Wiring

Check the engine speed (RPM) sensor connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.

Check the resistance of the engine speed (RPM) sensor between terminals #1 and #2.

Check the signal cable between engine speed (RPM) sensor terminal #1 and engine control module (ECM) terminal #A77 (#B17). Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage. Check for a short-circuit to ground.

Check the power cable between engine speed (RPM) sensor terminal #2 and engine control module (ECM) terminal #A53 (#A53). Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage. Check for a short-circuit to ground.

Remedy as necessary.

HINT: The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) can be caused by damage in the flywheel / carrier plate. Look for damage to the flywheel / carrier plate.
