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 signal check mode (test mode), and cleared when an engine speed signal of 1000 rpm is detected for 3 seconds or more. This DTC is output only in signal check mode.

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 (See page
) of the transmitter IDs into the tire
pressure warning ECU if the ECU has been replaced.
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.

(b) Start the engine.
(c) Check the waveform of the ECU connector using an oscilloscope while idling the engine.
OK:
