Signal Missing - Permanent Fault

Signal missing. Permanent fault

Checking connectors and wiring
Check the engine speed (RPM) sensor connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.
Check the signal cable between the engine speed (RPM) sensor terminal #1 and engine control module (ECM) terminal #A48 (#A48). Check the signal cable between engine speed (RPM) sensor terminal #2 and engine control module (ECM) terminal #A66 (#B6). Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage. Check for an short-circuit to ground. Check for an open-circuit.
Check the carrier plate, search for damage and other defects.
Remedy as necessary.
