CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0715, P0717

DTC Code DTC Name
P0715 Input/Turbine Speed Sensor "A" Circuit
P0717 Input/Turbine Speed Sensor "A" Circuit No Signal

DESCRIPTION

The ECM receives a signal from the turbine speed sensor (transmission revolution sensor (NT)) installed in the continuously variable transaxle to control the lock-up engagement pressure and forward and reverse clutch pressure.

The transmission revolution sensor (NT) detects the continuously variable transaxle input shaft speed and sends it to the ECM.

  1. The vehicle is driven with the shift lever in D, the output shaft speed is 300 rpm or more, and no error is detected in the park/neutral position switch.

  2. The speed indicated by the transmission revolution sensor (NT) is less than 300 rpm.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The turbine speed sensor detects the transaxle input shaft speed. The ECM determines the necessary gear ratio based on a comparison of the turbine 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 less than 300 rpm while driving with the shift lever in D, the ECM will conclude that there is a malfunction in the transmission revolution sensor (NT). The ECM will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING GTS (SPD (NT) AND NT SENSOR VOLTAGE)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.


      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Data List
      Tester Display
      SPD (NT)
      NT Sensor Voltage

      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Data List
      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      SPD (NT) Input turbine speed

      min.: 0 rpm

      max.: 12750 rpm

      • Lock-up on (After warming up engine): Input turbine speed (NT) equal to engine speed

      • Lock-up off (Idling with shift lever in P or N): Input turbine speed (NT) nearly equal to engine speed

      • Vehicle stopped with shift lever in R: 0 rpm

      		 Data is displayed in increments of 50 rpm.
      NT Sensor Voltage Input turbine speed (NT) sensor output voltage

      min.: 0 V

      max.: 4.999 V

      		 Engine idling (Vehicle stopped with shift lever in P or N): 0.6 to 1.5 V -

    5. In accordance with the display on the GTS, read the Data List.

      *1 Transmission Revolution Sensor (NT) *2 Ammeter
      *3 Battery - -
      *a 5 mm (0.197 in.) Gap or Closer - -

    2. Connect the battery to the sensor as shown in the illustration.

    3. Wave a magnetic object left and right in front of the transmission revolution sensor (NT) tip (5 mm (0.197 in.) gap or closer) to change the high/low signals while measuring the current.

      Note

      Make sure to wave the magnetic object during the inspection. The current will not change without waving the magnetic object as indicated by the arrow in the illustration.

    4. Measure the current according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Current
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 (NTO) - 2 (NTB) Low signal 4 to 8 mA
      1 (NTO) - 2 (NTB) High signal 12 to 16 mA

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION REVOLUTION SENSOR (NT) - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the B33 transmission revolution sensor (NT) connector.

    2. Disconnect the B75 ECM connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B33-1 (NTO) - B75-125 (NTO) Always Below 1 Ω
