Best Answer

The engine speed sensor provides the ECM with a crankshaft position signal. The ECM uses the signal to determine a crankshaft reference point (Top Dead Center) and calculate engine speed (RPM.) The signal is also used by the On-Board Diagnostic system for misfire detection. The ignition system will not operate if the ECM does not receive an engine speed sensor input.
