Tachometer Malfunction [08/2015 - 08/2019]: Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if a CAN communication DTC is output (Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [08/2015 - 08/2019] ).
      RESULT

      Result Proceed to
      CAN communication DTC is not output A
      CAN communication DTC is output B

    Result: 

    GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 

    (Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [08/2015 - 08/2019] )

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (TACHO METER OPERATION) 
    1. Use the Active Test to check the operation of the tachometer (Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2015 - 08/2017] , or refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2017 - 08/2019] ).
      COMBINATION METER

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Tacho Meter Operation Tachometer 0, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000 (rpm) Confirm that the vehicle is stopped with the engine idling.

      OK

      Tachometer indication is normal.

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - 08/2019] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (ENGINE RPM) 
    1. Use the Data List to check the engine speed (Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2015 - 08/2017] , or refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2017 - 08/2019] ).
      COMBINATION METER

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Engine Rpm Engine speed/Min.: 0 rpm, Max.: 12800 rpm 650 to 750 rpm (When idling) If the data received from the ECM exceeds the range that can be displayed on the meter, the meter continues to display the maximum value.

      OK

      Engine speed displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as the tachometer indication.

    2. Record the engine speed displayed on the Techstream.

      HINT: 

      Check the engine speed when the engine is fully warmed up and the air conditioning and all electrical accessories are off.

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - 08/2019] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (ENGINE SPEED) 
    1. Use the Data List to check the engine speed (Refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2015 - 08/2018] , or refer to DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [08/2018 - 08/2019] ).
      ENGINE AND ECT

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Engine Speed Engine speed/Min.: 0 rpm, Max.: 16383 rpm 650 to 750 rpm (When idling) -

      OK

      Engine speed displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as the previously recorded Techstream value (Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List / Engine Rpm).

    Result: 

    NG 

    GO TO SFI SYSTEM 

    (Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [08/2015 - ] )

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. REPLACE ECM 
    1. Replace the ECM with a new functioning one (Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - ] ).

      OK

      The operation of the tachometer returns to normal.

    Result: 

    OK 

    END 

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to REMOVAL [08/2015 - 08/2019] )
