Component Inspection

  1. Check "INPUT SPEED SENSOR (PG-A)"
    1. Ignition "OFF".
    2. Disconnect the "INPUT SPEED SENSOR" connector.
    3. Measure resistance between terminal "1" and "2" of the "INPUT SPEED SENSOR" connector.

      Specification: 245 ± 30 Ω /20°C (68°F)

  2. CHECK PCM
    1. Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF".
    2. Connect "INPUT SPEED SENSOR" connector.

    5. Is "INPUT SPEED SENSOR (PG-A)" signal value changed according to simulation frequency?

      YES  : --> Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

      NO  : --> Substitute with a known-good PCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace PCM as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
