DTC Troubleshooting

DTC Troubleshooting: P0722 (9), P0723 (9)

DTC P0722:

Output Shaft (Countershaft) Speed Sensor (No Signal Input)

DTC P0723:

Output Shaft (Countershaft) Speed Sensor (Intermittent Failure)

NOTE:

- Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot with the HDS, and review General Troubleshooting Information How To Troubleshoot The A/T System.
- This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission.

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

3. Raise the vehicle on a lift, make sure it is securely supported, and allow the all four wheels to rotate freely.

4. Start the engine in P, disable the VSA by pressing the VSA OFF button, run the vehicle with the shift lever in D, with the engine speed above 2,000 rpm for at least 10 seconds. Compare the input shaft (mainshaft) speed and the output shaft (countershaft) speed with the HDS in the A/T Data List. Slow down, and stop the wheels.

Are the speeds about the same?

YES -

Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time.�

NO -

Go to step 5.

5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

6. Disconnect the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector.

7. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

8. Measure the voltage between output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.





Is there about 5 V?

YES -

Go to step 9.

NO -

Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal B36 and the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor, then go to step 16.

9. Measure the voltage between output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.





Is there about 5 V?

YES -

Go to step 10.

NO -

Go to step 12.

10. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

11. Check for continuity between output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.





Is there continuity?

YES -

Replace the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor Output Shaft (Countershaft) Speed Sensor Replacement, then go to step 16.

NO -

Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal C16 and the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor, then go to step 16.

12. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

13. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

14. Disconnect PCM connector B (49P).

15. Check for continuity between output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.





Is there continuity?

YES -

Repair short to body ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal B38 and the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor, then go to step 16.

NO -

Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal B38 and the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor, then go to step 16.

16. Reconnect all connectors.

17. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

18. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

19. Start the engine in P, disable the VSA by pressing the VSA OFF button, run the vehicle with the shift lever in D, with the engine speed above 2,000 rpm for at least 10 seconds. Compare the input shaft (mainshaft) speed and output shaft (countershaft) speed with the HDS in the A/T Data List. Slow down, and stop the wheels.

Are the speeds about the same?

YES -

Troubleshooting is complete.�

NO -

Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor and the PCM, then go to step 1.
