DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E1-229 0.5 R 0.5 B/R 0.5 G Engine Control Module (ECM) Crank Angle Sensor F1 E5 B5 Tacho Meter Meter Fuse 15A 2 1 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) (Flash DTC = 91) TACHO OUT LOW ERROR Circuit Description Based on the information from the Crank Position Sensor (CKP), X58 reference signal is generated at each rotation of the crankshaft. Engine Control Module (ECM) converts X58 reference signal into rectangle wave and delivers it as output signal to drive the pulse motor of the crankshaft. When the wave length of the output signal is long, the tacho meter indicates the engine speed is low, and vise versa. This malfunction detects a low impedance short to ground or open contact on the Tacho output, the Diagnostic Trouble Code 91 will be set. Conditions for Setting the DTC • Driver feedback information shows a low state at its operation even when commanded low. Action Taken When the DTC Sets • The ECM will turn ON the Malfunction Indicator Lamp Conditions for Clearing the DTC Once the ECM determines that a fault(s) has been rectified then the CEL will switch OFF, although the fault code will remain in the ECM memory. Any fault codes will remain in ECM memory until - 1. They are cleared by disconnecting the Battery for more than 30 seconds. 2. A service tool such as Tech 2 is used to clear them. 3. Ten consecutive starts without logging a fault. Diagnostic Aids • Poor connections or a damaged harness - Inspect the harness connections for: backed out terminals, imprope, mating or damaged terminals. Also check for open circuit, short to ground, and short to voltage. |
