Checking the transmission input speed sensor signal








- Ignition off
- Check the transmission control module (TCM) and transmission connectors. Check for contact resistance and oxidation according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault. Remedy if necessary
- Reinstall the components, reconnect the connectors etc.
- 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 input speed is updated.
Compare with the engine speed (RPM).
If the transmission speed increases, the cause of the fault was loose connections in the control module or transmission speed sensor connectors.

Does the transmission input speed increase with engine speed (RPM)?

Yes - FAULT FOUND

No - Checking wiring and sensors

-------------------------------------------------

Checking wiring and sensors




- Ignition off
- Connect the breakout box.
Check the speed sensor cable for power supply between control module terminal #11 and terminal #2 on the black 2-pin transmission connector (control module side). Check for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Start the engine and let it run at idle speed
- Gear selector in position P
- Read off the transmission input speed.
Depress the accelerator pedal (AP) and check that engine speed (RPM) is updated.
Compare with the engine speed (RPM).





Is the speed updated?

Yes - VERIFIED

No - VERIFICATION FAILED

------------------------

VERIFIED - FAULT FOUND

VERIFICATION FAILED - Fault-tracing information

Information

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.

Do you want to exit fault-tracing?

Yes - Exit fault-tracing

No - Attempt New Test
