On-Board Diagnosis

Type of diagnosis: Continuous

Input requirements: Engine running. The engine speed on the input shaft exceeds 500 rpm. No faults on bus communication with the engine management system. The Limp Home function is not active.

Fault criteria: The engine speed signal from the engine management system is invalid for more than 4 s.

System reactions in the event of a fault: Limp Home.

OK Report: The engine speed signal is valid for more than 5 min.

Diagnostic help

When the engine management system diagnostics have detected faults on the crankshaft position sensor and stored the diagnostic trouble code for this, the engine speed signal is invalid on the bus for the remainder of the driving cycle. When the diagnostic trouble code for the crankshaft position sensor is not active in the engine management system the correct value is sent out on the bus again. When P0725 71 is generated in TCM, diagnostic trouble codes P0016, P0335, P0336, P0337 or P0339 are already stored in the engine management system.

Follow the troubleshooting procedure for the current diagnostic trouble code in the engine management system.
