P1820 ENGINE SPEED SIGNAL

Description

INFOID:0000000006244967

The ECM transmits the engine speed signal via CAN communication to the transfer control unit.  DTC P1820

will set when either of the following occur:

• Malfunction is detected in engine speed signal that is output from the ECM.

• Improper signal is input while driving.
