DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the rotation speed of the turbine which indicates the input speed of the transmission. By comparing the input turbine speed signal NT with the output shaft speed sensor signal SP2, the TCM detects the shift timing of the gears and appropriately controls the engine torque and hydraulic pressure according to various conditions. As a result, the gears shift smoothly.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0717 | Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit No Signal | All conditions are met for 5 seconds or more (2-trip detection logic): (a) Gear shift is not being performed. (b) Transmission is in 4th or 5th gear. (c) Transmission input shaft speed is less than 300 rpm. (d) Transmission output shaft speed is 1000 rpm or more. (e) Park/neutral position switch R input signal is OFF. (f) Shift solenoid valves and park/neutral position switch are normal. |

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that a pulse is not output from the transmission revolution sensor (NT) or is output only a little. The NT terminal of the TCM detects the pulse signal from the transmission revolution sensor (NT). The TCM outputs a gear shift signal by comparing the transmission revolution sensor (NT) with the transmission revolution sensor (SP2).
While the vehicle is operating in 4th or 5th gear with the shift lever in D, if the input shaft speed is less than 300 rpm*1 although the output shaft speed is 1000 rpm or more*2, the TCM detects the trouble, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
Tech Tips
*1: A pulse is not output or is irregularly output.
*2: The vehicle speed is approximately 50 km/h (31 mph) or more.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Tech Tips
After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.
Perform the D Position Shift Test in Road Test and drive the vehicle for 5 seconds or more at 50 km/h (31 mph) or more.*1
Turn the ignition switch off.
Perform steps (*1) again.
Check for DTCs again.
DATA LIST
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.
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.
Warm up the engine.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List.
According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.
| Tester Display | Measurement Item | Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SPD (NT) | Input turbine speed (transmission revolution sensor (NT)) | Min.: 0 rpm Max.: 12750 rpm |

The data is displayed in increments of 50 rpm. |
| Tester Display |
|---|
| SPD (NT) |
Tech Tips
SPD (NT) is always 0 while driving:
Open or short in the sensor or circuit.
SPD (NT) is always more than 0 and less than 300 rpm while driving the vehicle at 50 km/h (31 mph) or more:
Sensor trouble, improper installation or intermittent connection trouble in the circuit.
PROCEDURE
