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