P0654

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The PCM creates the engine speed output signal by pulsing the circuit to ground at a predetermined hertz rate. The PCM pulses the circuit at the same rate as the engine speed signal input. The PCM monitors the voltage on the engine speed output circuit. If the PCM determines the voltage is out of the normal operating range, a DTC sets.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
^ The engine speed is greater than 400 RPM.
^ The ignition voltage is greater than 6 volts and less than 18 volts.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ The PCM detects that the commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the control circuit do not match.
^ All conditions are present for a minimum of 5 seconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The PCM displays the failure information in the Failure Records on the scan tool.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC
^ The history DTC clears after 40 malfunction free warm-up cycles.
^ The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.
^ The PCM receives the clear code command from the scan tool.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

IMPORTANT: Remove any debris from the PCM connector surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect the PCM connector gaskets when diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent water intrusion into the PCM.

Using Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data can aid in determining how many miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can also aid determining how many ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This will isolate when the OTC failed.

For an intermittent, refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections in Diagnostic Aids.
