Tach reads 1/2 of what it should
Factory Tach reads 1/2 of what it should coming from ecm. I put a 1K ohm, 1/2 watt resistor in line as suggested with no results. Any body have any other ideas

Re: Tach reads 1/2 of what it should
I had the same problem . Tuner changed the setting in the pcm . Cant remember if he had to set it on 4 or 8 cylinder . But it fixed mine from reading 1/2 .

Needs to be 4 cylinder

Re: Tach reads 1/2 of what it should
I just looked at my setting . There is an engine section . From there go to tach output . It has resolution low & high . Tuner set mine at 3 & 3 . Not sure how it is calculated but it works for mine . If you have HP tuners its an easy fix .

Google hp tuners.
It's about 650 ish |

Factory output from the ECU is a 4 cyl signal. Simply set up your tach per the instructions for a 4 banger and you're good to go. Sometimes that involves clipping wires on the rear of the tach.

Watch this video. I just made it yesterday.

$80 adapter box can convert 4-cyl to 8-cyl and back and forth. I use this in my LS3 Camaro to drive the factory tach and it works great:

converter box is unnecessary unless you just have money to blow. ;)

Re: Tach reads 1/2 of what it should
I realize this is an older thread but some of you may be having similar Tach Issues with your aftermarket tach's on your LS powered projects.
seems as though that installing the resistor helps some but I found it did not work. Here is what I have: 2004 5.3 LS3 Truck motor 2-1/4" Autometer tach mounted on dash of my '51. Connected: red to 12V power Black to ground Green to White Signal wire out of ECM Autometer tach was set on 4 cylinder position Nothing. I then bridged the signal side of the tach with 12 volt power side like in the video in the previous post. I tried this bridge different size ohm resistors starting with a 1000 ohm 1/2 watt resistor Tach worked but was registering double RPM than what it should have been I then bumped up to a 5000 Ohm 1/2 watt resister- with same type over sensitive / i.e. tach registering 6k when should only be 3k. I am also getting code:P0654 "Engine Revolutions Per Minute Output Circuit Malfunction" I then called Autometer tech line. Tech guy told me that my signal was corrupt out of ECM. I need to buy the $100.00 autometer 9117 tach adapter box. This gets wired in from the coils directly abandoning the white ECM tach signal wire. So I am thinking that BP Harness set my tach signal within my ECU that is somehow corrupting it/ not allowing it to |

Re: Tach reads 1/2 of what it should
Thanks for the Heads up guys. I will try flipping the dip switch on the tach from 4 cylinder to 8 and go back to the 1000 ohm resister.
Question about the factory ECM tach settings: What does the factory setting on the Gen III ECM 4 cylinder or or 8 cylinder? Why does every LS forum that I read including the Autometer website say to set the tach to 4 cylinder? |
