Tachometer: Description and Operation
TACHOMETER
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the engine speed as determined by the powertrain control module (PCM). The IPC receives a GMLAN
message from the body control module (BCM) indicating the engine speed. The tachometer will default to 0 RPM if:
-
The PCM detects a malfunction in the engine speed sensor circuit.
-
The IPC detects a loss of GMLAN communications with the BCM.
