The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is diagnosed with the engine running and at an engine speed (RPM) above 520 rpm.

Substitute Value 

• Engine speed (RPM) and torque are limited to a calculated normal operating range.

Possible Source 

• Damaged engine control module (ECM).

Fault symptom[s] 

• Maximum engine speed (RPM) too low
• Cruise control does not work at all
• Uneven idle
