U341E AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION / TRANSAXLE: AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: P0717: Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit No Signal

DTC P0717 - Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit No Signal

DESCRIPTION

This sensor detects the rotation speed of the input turbine. By comparing the input turbine speed signal (NT) with the output shaft speed, the ECM detects the shift timing of the gears and appropriately controls the engine torque and hydraulic pressure according to various conditions. Thus, providing smooth gear shift.






MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The input speed sensor detects the transmission input shaft speed. The ECM determines the gear shift timing based on a comparison of the input speed sensor (input shaft speed) with the output speed sensor (output shaft speed).
When the output shaft speed is higher than the expected value and the input shaft speed is 300 rpm or less while running with the shift in the D position, the ECM will conclude that there is malfunction of the input turbine speed sensor (NT). The ECM will illuminate the MIL.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT SPEED SENSOR INSTALLATION




(a) Check the speed sensor installation.
OK:
The installation bolt is tightened properly and there is no clearance between the sensor and transaxle case.
NG -- REPLACE SPEED SENSOR (NT)
OK -- Continue to next step.
2. INSPECT SPEED SENSOR (NT)




(a) Disconnect the speed sensor connector from the transaxle.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance:






NG -- REPLACE SPEED SENSOR (NT)
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPEED SENSOR - ECM)




(a) Connect the speed sensor connector.
(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance:





(d) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for short):






NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- REPLACE ECM (for 2ZR-FE)
