DTC Code DTC Name
P071512 Input/Turbine Speed Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Battery
P071514 Input/Turbine Speed Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Ground or Open
P071531 Input/Turbine Speed Sensor "A" No Signal

DESCRIPTION

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

Based on the transmission revolution sensor (NT) signal and the transmission revolution sensor (NC) signals, the ECM controls engine torque and shift timing. Based on the input shaft rotation speed and the engine speed signal, lock-up control is performed.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The NT terminal of the ECM detects a pulse signal from the transmission revolution sensor (NT) (input RPM). The ECM calculates gear shifts by comparing input signals of the transmission revolution sensor (NT) with the transmission revolution sensor (NC).

While the vehicle is being driven in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th gear with the shift lever in D, if the input shaft revolution (speed) is less than 300 rpm*1 when the vehicle speed is 23 km/h (14.29 mph) or more, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

*: Pulse is not output or is irregularly output.

  1. DATA LIST

    Note

    In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.

    Tech Tips

    Using the GTS to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.


    1. Warm up the engine.

    2. Turn the ignition switch off.

    3. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    5. Turn the GTS on.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Data List / NT Sensor Speed.

    7. Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.


      Powertrain > Transmission > Data List
      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      NT Sensor Speed Input shaft speed

      Min.: 0 rpm

      Max.: 12750 rpm

      • Equal to engine speed: Lock-up on (after warming up engine)

      • Nearly equal to engine speed: Lock-up off (idling with shift lever in N)

      		 Data is displayed in increments of 50 rpm

      Powertrain > Transmission > Data List
      Tester Display
      NT Sensor Speed

      Tech Tips


      • NT Sensor Speed is always 0 while driving: Open or short in the sensor or circuit.

      • NT Sensor Speed is always more than 0 and less than 300 rpm while driving the vehicle at 50 km/h (31 mph) or more: Sensor malfunction, improper installation, or intermittent connection malfunction in the circuit.

PROCEDURE
