.

7.

CHECK TCM

Check TCM input/output signals. Refer to 

TM-285, "Reference Value"

.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> Check intermittent incident. Refer to 

GI-39, "Intermittent Incident"

P0725 ENGINE SPEED SIGNAL

Description

INFOID:0000000000988667

The engine speed signal is transmitted from ECM to TCM by CAN communication line.

DTC Logic

INFOID:0000000000988668

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:

Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
If “DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE” has been previously performed, always turn ignition switch
OFF and wait at least 10 seconds before performing the next test.
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.

1.

CHECK DTC DETECTION

With CONSULT-III

1.

Turn ignition switch ON.

2.

Select “DATA MONITOR”.

3.

Start engine and maintain the following conditions for at least 10 consecutive seconds.

Is “P0725 ENGINE SPEED SIG” detected?

YES

>> Go to 

TM-237, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

NO

>> Check intermittent incident. Refer to 

GI-39, "Intermittent Incident"

.
