METER / GAUGE SYSTEM Tachometer Malfunction

DTC Code DTC Name
Tachometer Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

In this circuit, the combination meter assembly receives engine speed signals from the ECM using the CAN communication system. The combination meter assembly displays the engine speed calculated based on the data received from the ECM.

  3. READ VALUE USING GTS (ENGINE RPM)

    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.

      Engine speed displayed on the GTS is almost the same as the tachometer indication.

      Tip:

      • When the Data List values and tachometer values match, a signal output error of the ECM or an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.

      • When the Data List values and tachometer values do not match, an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.
