Check this re.codes

" P0725 Engine RPM input; circuit malfunction.
P0400 Critical system malfunction. [Poss. EGR-related; but needs the sub-code to ID exactly.]

Before you do anything else; verify, with a scope, that the crank sensor is producing the correct waveform and that it's reaching the main and pump ECUs uncorrupted.

If both ECU feeds and earths haven't already been done [if not; why not?] then they should be verified first. Feed relay faults are not unknown. "
