Engine Speed Signal Error (Test Mode DTC) (C2194/94)
The tire pressure warning ECU receives an engine speed signal from the ECM. This DTC is stored upon entering test mode and cleared when an engine speed signal of 1000 rpm is detected for 3 seconds or more. This DTC is stored only in test mode.
DTC Code | Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
C2194/94 |
The test mode procedure is performed. |

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
- When replacing the tire pressure warning ECU, read the transmitter IDs stored in the old ECU using the Techstream and write them down before removal.
- It is necessary to perform registration of the transmitter IDs into the tire pressure warning ECU after the ECU and/or the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter has been replaced (See page
).
READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (ENGINE SPEED)
(a) Turn the ignition switch off.
(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(d) Turn the Techstream on.
(e) Enter the following menus: Chassis / Tire Pressure Monitor / Data List.
(f) Check that the values indicated on the Techstream and on the combination meter are the same.
Tire Pressure MonitorTester Display | Measurement Item/Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
|---|---|---|---|
Engine Speed |
Engine speed/ min.: 0 rpm max.: 65535 rpm |
Almost same as actual engine speed |
The speed indicated on the combination meter. |
OK:
Engine speed indicated on the Techstream and on the combination meter are the same.
| OK | ![]() | USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK |

INSPECT TIRE PRESSURE WARNING ECU (TACH SIGNAL)
(a) Disconnect the F7 ECU connector.
(b) Start the engine.
(c) Check the waveform of the ECU connector using an oscilloscope while idling the engine. OK:
HINT: The wavelength becomes shorter as the engine speed increases. Text in Illustration

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TIRE PRESSURE WARNING ECU - ECM)
(a) Disconnect the F7 ECU connector.
(b) Disconnect the F50 ECM connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
F7-4 (TACH) - F50-29 (TACH) |
Always |
Below 1 Ω |
F7-4 (TACH) - Body ground |
Always |
10 kΩ or higher |
| OK | ![]() | REPLACE ECM |
| NG | ![]() | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
