C1272 Engine Speed Input Malfunction > General Information


Component Location

General Description
EPS CM confirms driver’s driving intention by receving ENG rpm signal from PCM (Power train Control Module), or ECM(Electronic
Control Module) while judging the failure of vehicle speed sensor. EPS use a maximum of 45A controlling ESP motor. If EPS motor
is operating in idle, or engine rpm decreases due to abnormally high generator load, the engine stops or battery is discharged. To
prevent this situation, When motor consume over 25A in engine idle, EPS CM grounds 12V voltage, which is outputted from ECU,
and sends idle-up signal to engine ECU. If motor consume less than 20A, or vehicle speed is faster than 5Km/h, EPS CM turns
"OFF" the idleup signal.

DTC Description
This DTC code refers to open/short of engine rpm signal circuit and related system. Using engine rpm and vehicle speed signal from
engine ECU and vehicle speed sensor, EPS CM sets this code and limits steering wheel operating power by restricting motor
operating current and operating duration.

DTC Detecting Condition


Item Detecting Condition Possible cause
DTC strategy ● Signal check
Enable conditions ● IG "ON"
● Engine speed < 400 rpm & vehicle speed > 50
Threshold value
kph ● Open/short in signal circuit
● Contact resistance in connections.
Diagnosis time ● 20 sec
● Faulty circuit to be related with PCM
● Motor : Current decrease 45A / 4sec ● Faulty PCM
● Relay : ON
fail safe ● Fail lamp : ON
● Restoration condition : Power "OFF" or engine
speed > 500 rpm

Hz is 2 pulse / 1 rev, signal high is Approx. 3.5V more than, low is Approx. 1.0V less than. Also it must increase together if vehicle
speed increases.

C1272 Engine Speed Input Malfunction > Scantool Diagnosis > Monitor Scantool Data
Monitor Scantool Data
1. Connect scantool to Data Link Connector(DLC) and start engine.
2. Monitor the "ENGINE SPEED" parameter on the scantool.
3. Drive the vehicle with idling and acceleration.
Fig.1) Sensor current data (normal)
4. Is parameter within specifications?

▶ Fault is intermittent and caused either by poor contact in connectors or wiring harness, or it has been repaired and EPS CM
memory is not cleared yet. Thoroughly check all connectors (and connections) for looseness, bending, corrosion, contamination,
deterioration, and/or damage.
Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

▶ Watch the tachometer on the instrument panel with idling and acceleration.
If tachometer is normal, "W/Harness Inspection" go to procedure.
If tachometer is abnormal, check for contact resistance in connections, open/short to ground in signal circuit and faulty
components.
▶ Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

C1272 Engine Speed Input Malfunction > Inspection/Repair > W/Harness Inspection
Terminal and Connector Inspection
1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals.
Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2. Thoroughly check all connectors (and connections) for looseness, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, and/or
damage.
3. Has a problem been found?

▶ Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

▶ Go to "Signal Circuit Inspection" procedure.

Signal Circuit Inspection


1. Check output signal
(1) Ignition "OFF".
(2) Connect Scantool to Data Link Connector(DLC) and then start engine.
(3) Select "SCOPEMETER FUNCTION"on scantool and then accelerate Engine.
(4) Measure output signal between terminal "12"of EPS CM harness connector and chassis ground.
1) Specification :
Fig.1) Engine RPM signal at idle (TPS PWM)
Fig.2) Engine RPM signal at acceleration (TPS PWM)
Hz is 2 pulse / 1 rev, signal high is Approx. 3.5V more than, low is Approx. 1.0V less than. Also it must increase together if
vehicle speed increases.
(5) Is tachometer output signal within specifications?

▶ Substitute with a known-good EPS CM and check for proper operation.


If the problem is corrected, replace EPS CM and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

▶ Go to "Check for open/short in signal harness" as below.

2. Check for open/short in signal harness


(1) Ignition "OFF"
(2) Disconnect ECM connector and EPS CM connector.
(3) Measure resistance between terminal "67(25/48)"of ECM connector and terminal "12"of EPS CM harness connector.
1) Specification : Approx. 0 Ω
(4) Is the resistance measured within specifications?

▶ Check for short to ground in signal harness.


If it is normal, go to "Component Inspection" procedure.
If it is abnormal, repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

▶Check for open/short in signal harness.


Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

Verification of Vehicle Repair
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
1. Connect scantool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode.
2. Clear DTC.
3. Operate the vehicle within DTC Enable conditions in General information.
4. Are any DTCs present ?

▶ Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.

▶ System performing to specification at this time.
