Signal Missing






Signal missing

Checking the status




- Start the engine.
Read off the diagnostic status and fault status for the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) by selecting the relevant diagnostic trouble code (DTC) from the list.
Increase the engine speed to 2500 rpm until the diagnostic is "Complete".
Check whether the fault is permanent or intermittent. Read off the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) fault status when the diagnostic status is "Completed".

Hint: In some cases several functions of the component will be diagnosed. This affects the amount of time taken to run the diagnostic.

The fault is permanent if the fault status is "Fault found". If the fault status is "No fault found" the fault is intermittent and not presently active.









Continue - Checking components and wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking components 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.
