Circuit Description

The PCM creates the engine speed signal by pulsing the signal circuit to ground at the rate of 2 pulses per engine revolution. The PCM monitors the voltage at the engine speed signal circuit. If the PCM determines that the voltage is not within the normal operating range, the PCM sets a DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • The engine speed is greater than 800 RPM.
    • The ignition voltage is greater than 9 volts but less than 18 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The PCM detects that the commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the signal circuit do not match.
    • The above condition is present for at least 5.0 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The PCM stores a DTC P0654 in memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
    • The malfunction indicator lamp will not illuminate.
    • The PCM records the operating conditions at the time when the diagnostic test fails. The PCM stores this information in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • A history DTC clears after 40 malfunction free warm-up cycles.
    • The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.
    • The PCM receives the clear code command from the scan tool.

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Start the engine.
  3. With the scan tool, observe the Engine Speed parameter in the PCM Engine Data 1 data list.

Does the Engine Speed parameter match the tachometer display?

  1. Turn the ignition OFF.
  2. Disconnect the PCM connector C2 (L18 and LB7) or C3 (LG4).
  3. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
  4. Measure the voltage from the engine speed signal circuit of the PCM to a good ground.

Does the voltage measure greater than the specified value?

9.0 V
