Circuit Description

The ECM supplies the engine speed sensor with +5 VDC.

Component Location

The engine speed sensor is located in the lower portion of the front cover on the intake side of the engine. Refer to Section E for a detailed component location view.

Shop Talk

The ECM monitors the voltage level on the engine speed sensor +5 volt supply circuit. If voltage falls below a calibratible limit then this fault is recorded.

Possible causes of this fault code are a short circuit to ground in the engine harness, sensor, or ECM.
