Tachometer Inaccurate or Inoperative
Tachometer Inaccurate or Inoperative
Diagnostic Instructions
* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure. Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the engine speed based on the information from the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM). The ECM/PCM converts the data from the engine speed sensor to a 2 pulses/engine revolution signal. The ECM/PCM sends the engine speed information via CAN serial data to the body control module (BCM). The BCM then sends the information via class 2 serial data to the IPC to order to display the engine speed.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition ON, engine ON, verify the scan tool Engine Speed parameter matches the tachometer display.
• If the Engine Speed parameter does not match the tachometer display, replace the IPC.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure. Verification Tests
