1. Tachometer Inaccurate or Inoperative | |||
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) creates the engine speed signal by pulsing the engine speed signal circuit to ground at a rate of 2 pulses per engine revolution. The IPC converts the 2 pulses per engine revolution signal to a tachometer position indicating the engine speed. The engine speed is sent to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) over a discreet wire from the ECM. The tachometer signal is pulled up to B+ in the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The ECM monitors the voltage at the engine speed signal circuit to determine when the voltage is out of the normal operating range.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The engine speed is more than 400 RPM. |
| • | The ignition voltage is between 9-18 volts. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The ECM detects that the commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the signal circuit do not match |
| • | The above condition must be present for a minimum of 5 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM displays the failure information in the Failure Records on the scan tool.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present. |
| • | The history DTC clears after 40 malfunction-free warm-up cycles. |
| • | The ECM receives a clear code command from the scan tool. |

Circuit/System Verification
Start the engine with the scan tool installed. Verify that the tachometer display matches the scan tool Engine Speed parameter in the ECM Engine Data List.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the C1 (LH2) or C2 (LY7) harness connector at the engine control module.
- Ignition ON, test for 9-11 volts between the engine speed signal circuit and ground.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the ECM.
| ⇒ | If less than 9 volts, test the engine speed signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC. |
| ⇒ | If greater than 11 volts, test the engine speed signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC. |
Repair Instructions
Important: Always perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
