ls the correct speed indicated?
Check for an open in the ECM/PCM:1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.2. Elock the rear wheels and setthe parking brake.3. Jack up the front of the vehicleand support it with safetystands.4. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
5. Block the right tront wheel andslowly rotate the left front
6, Measure voltage between theECM/PCM connector termi-nals C18 and A9.
Subslitute a known-good ECM/PCM and recheck. lf symptom/indic.tion goes away, replace theorisinal ECM/PCM.
Does the voltage pulse 0 Vand 5 V?
Check tor a short in ihe ECM/PCM:1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.2. Disco n n ect the ECM/PCMconnector C (31P).
3. Turn the ignition switch ON {ll).4. Block the right front wheeland slowly rotate the left front
5. Measure voltage between theECM/PCM connector terminalsC18 and A9.

There should be batterY voltage
. If there is no voltage, check for:

There should be continuity.
. lf there is no continuity, check for:
- an open in the BLK wire.
- poor ground (G551).
