Explanation of Wave Pattern
The pump speed sensor detects the rotation of the pump shaft. Accordingly, the period T (seconds)
can be measured and the engine speed can be calculated from the following formula.
Engine speed =

Wave Pattern Observation Points
Check that cycle time T becomes shorter and the frequency increases when the engine speed is increased.
Examples of Abnormal Wave Patterns
D
Example 1
Cause of problem
Malfunction or open circuit in sensor
Wave pattern characteristics
No signal is output even when engine is started.
D
Example 2
Cause of problem
Incorrect gap between sensor and sensing gear plate
Wave pattern characteristics
No signal is output even when engine is started, or signal
amplitude is small.
