Speed Sensing Loss Alarm

Illustration 1 | g00104842 |
(1) Primary speed/timing sensor. (2) Backup speed/timing sensor. |
If primary speed/timing sensor (1) cannot sense engine speed, the "DIAGNOSTIC" lamp will indicate a diagnostic fault code which will be logged in the ECM memory.
If primary speed/timing sensor (1) cannot sense engine speed, the automatic default will use backup speed/timing sensor (2). The backup speed/timing sensor will be used until the primary speed/timing sensor is replaced.
If any of the following conditions are present, a speed/timing sensor failure may have occurred:
- The speed/timing sensor output has opened.
- The speed/timing sensor is shorted to ground.
- The speed/timing sensor is shorted to supply.
- The speed/timing sensor is missing pulses.
- The speed/timing sensor has extra pulses.
Intermittent failure causes erratic engine control. The electronic control system will detect a primary speed/timing sensor failure. The operator will be warned through the diagnostic lamp.
