The powertrain control module (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.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0654 Engine Speed Output Circuit
• | The engine speed is greater than 800 RPM. |
• | The ignition voltage is greater than 9 volts but less than 18 volts. |
• | 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. |
• | The PCM stores a DTC P0654 in memory when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
• | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) 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. |
• | 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. |
