Tach Pulse (RPM) Signal

Connect scan tool to DLC. RPM should be indicated on scan tool when engine is cranked or running. Tach pulse (RPM reference) will be indicated as a voltage signal when a DVOM (with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance connected to ground) is used to backprobe RPM high reference circuit. If tach pulse signal is not present, vehicle will not run. For circuit and terminal identification, see WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
