NO. 8 TACHOMETER INDICATION IS DEFECTIVE [INSTRUMENT CLUSTER]

id0903d5808100

8

Tachometer indication is defective

POSSIBLE CAUSE
• PCM malfunction
• Instrument cluster malfunction
• Connector or pin malfunction
• Short circuit in wiring harness between CAN-L, CAN-H and GND
• Open circuit in CAN wiring harness (CAN-L, CAN-H)
• CAN wiring harness (CAN-L, CAN-H) short each other

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
• Start the engine.
― Does the tachometer needle move smoothly?
― Does the tachometer needle indicate correct engine speed?
Yes
Troubleshooting completed.
No
Go to the next step.
2
• Inspect the DTC for the instrument cluster ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
• Has DTC U0401:68 been recorded in memory?
Yes
Inspect the DTC for the PCM.
No
Go to the next step.
3
• Verify that the speedometer needle moves using M-MDS instrument cluster simulation function TACHOMTR.
• Does the tachometer needle move according to simulation function?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the instrument cluster.
4
• Verify that the PCM PID RPM using the M-MDS.
• Does the RPM PID indicate engine speed properly?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Inspect for CKP sensor, related wiring harness, installation, and pulse wheel condition.
5
• Disconnect the negative battery cable.
• Measure the resistance between the DLC-2 terminals F and E.
• Is the resistance below 60 ohms?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 7.
6
• Disconnect the negative battery cable.
• Inspect the DLC-2 terminals F and E for short to power supply or GND.
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Inspect the wiring harness and CAN system-related module.
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
No
Replace the instrument cluster.
7
• Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
• Inspect the instrument cluster connector terminals for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, and corrosion).
• Are the terminals normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the terminal.
8
• Disconnect the negative battery cable.
• Measure the resistance between the instrument cluster connector terminals 2R and 2T.
• Is the resistance 114—126 ohms?
Yes
Inspect the wiring harness and CAN system-related module.
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
No
Replace the instrument cluster.
