Signal Missing. Permanent Fault






Signal missing. Permanent fault

Checking the transmission input speed sensor signal




- Gear selector in position P
- Start the engine and let it run at idle speed
- Read off the transmission input speed.
Check that the transmission speed is updated.
Compare with the engine speed (RPM).





Is the speed updated?

Yes - No Fault Found

No - Checking wiring and sensors
