Signal Too Low






Signal too low

Information

Note! The diagnostic trouble code may be caused by a physical object blocking the engine, which results in the crankshaft not being able to turn. Check the engine for visible objects that may cause the blockage.

Continue - Checking the component and wiring

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

Checking the component and wiring
- Check the engine speed (RPM) sensor connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.

Hint: The components and its cables are sensitive to interference from nearby cables, such as the starter motor cable or a similar cable with a high current rating.

Interference may cause difficult engine start, the engine does not start at all or intermittent function of the tachometer, etc. Check whether any cables with high power consumption are incorrectly installed, i.e. too close to the engine speed (RPM) sensor or its wiring.
Check that the engine speed (RPM) sensor is correctly installed.
Remedy as necessary.
