If you see this error code, it is important to check the RPM sensor and make sure it is clean and free of damage. If the RPM sensor is damaged, it will need to be replaced. If the RPM sensor is clean and undamaged, check the wiring to make sure it is not damaged or loose. If the wiring is damaged or loose, it will need to be repaired or replaced.
