- Check wiring for open circuit between ECM/test box and 3-pin harness connector.
- Connector terminal 1 to ECM/test box socket 67
- Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 63
- Connector terminal 3 to ECM/test box socket 56
- Specified value: max. 1.5 Ohms
- Check wiring for short circuit between ECM/test box and 3-pin harness connector, according to wiring diagram.
- Connector terminal 2 to ECM/test box socket 67
- Connector terminal 1 to ECM/test box socket 63
- Connector terminal 1 to ECM/test box socket 56
- Specified value: Infinity Ohms

If wiring is OK:
- Replace engine speed (RPM) sensor -G28-.
- Check readiness code. If Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory has been erased, or ECM was disconnected, generate new readiness code.
