Additional signals, checking

Engine speed (RPM) signal, checking


Note:
The engine speed signal is taken from terminal
37 on the Engine Control Module (ECM). The
signal is used for various functions including the
RPM display in the instrument cluster.

Fuel consumption signal for on-board
computer, checking


Notes:

The fuel consumption signal is calculated by the
engine control module (on the basis of the
injection period) and passed on to the on-board
computer. The fuel consumption signal is taken
from terminal 81 on the Engine Control Module
(ECM).

Coolant temperature signal, checking


Notes:

The engine control module receives the coolant
temperature signal from the instrument cluster.
When the signal is received, the charge
pressure is reduced to prevent the engine from
overheating.

- Take vehicle for a test drive and check whether
vehicle speed appears in display field 3.

- If vehicle speed does not appear, raise the
vehicle (preferably using a lift) until front left
wheel is clear of the ground.

- Connect diode test lamp between socket 3 (B+) and socket 54 (vehicle
speed signal).
- Switch ignition on and turn front left wheel by hand.
The diode test lamp should flash (very brief flashes).
- If diode test lamp does not flash, check for open circuit or short to B+
or Ground (GND) in wiring between instrument panel and terminal 54
on engine control module connector.

Fuel tank level signal, checking


Note:

The Engine Control Module (ECM) receives the
fuel tank level signal from the instrument
cluster.
The processed signal enters on terminal 30 the
Engine Control Module (ECM) and is used to
determine certain malfunctions (e.g.: misfire)
