Testing auxiliary signals
Testing engine speed signal
The engine speed signal is required for the rev counter, air conditioner and automatic gearbox.
However, since the signal cannot be read in the form in which it is generated by engine speed sender -G28, it has to be processed by the engine control unit first.
