P06EEEngine RPM Output Circuit High
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- How the car detects it
- The engine module turns the crankshaft signal into a cleaned-up square wave for the tachometer, transmission or body-builder modules – Saab's 1999 9-3, for example, sends two pulses per revolution, about 30 Hz at idle. P06EE means this output is too high, typically shorted to supply voltage, so it can no longer switch to ground; the driver may shut down for protection. It is the counterpart of P0654 (open circuit) and P06ED (low). CARB requires output circuits to be checked. No manufacturer document available to us uses this code; the description follows CARB, the component and P0654. The tachometer then reads nothing or full scale, and modules using the signal lose it, while the engine runs normally.
