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.

DTC No.

 Trouble Area
P0715

  1. A transmission revolution sensor (NT) signal malfunction is not detected.

  2. The transmission revolution sensor (NT) output voltage is less than 0.5 V, or higher than 3.5 V.

  3. 2 seconds

  • ECM
P0717

  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.

  3. 2 seconds

  4. 1 trip detection logic

  • Open or short in transmission revolution sensor (NT) circuit

  • Transmission revolution sensor (NT)

  • ECM

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 DTCs.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE


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


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the intelligent tester on.

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

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

      • 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

      (Transmission Revolution Sensor (NT))
      *2 Ammeter
      *3 Battery
      *4 5 mm Gap or Closer

      Remove the transmission revolution sensor (NT) Click here.

    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

    REPLACE TRANSMISSION REVOLUTION SENSOR (NT) Click here

    OK

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


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

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

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

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D60-1 (NTO) - D41-125 (NTO) Always Below 1 Ω
      D60-2 (NTB) - D41-124 (NTB) Always Below 1 Ω
      D60-1 (NTO) or D41-125 (NTO) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      D60-2 (NTB) or D41-124 (NTB) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

  5. PERFORM INITIALIZATION

    Note


    • Performing reset memory will clear the learned values of both the yaw rate sensor (deceleration sensor zero point calibration) and CVT oil pressure (CVT oil pressure calibration). Make sure to perform reset memory, yaw rate sensor zero point calibration and CVT oil pressure calibration when replacing any of the parts shown in the following table:

      Replaced Part

      • Continuously variable transaxle assembly

      • ECM

      • Oil pressure sensor

      • Yaw rate sensor

    • After performing reset memory, always perform yaw rate sensor (deceleration sensor zero point) calibration first, and then CVT oil pressure calibration.

    • Always perform zero point calibration with the vehicle on level ground.

    • Do not shake or vibrate the vehicle during zero point calibration.


    1. Using the intelligent tester, perform reset memory, deceleration sensor zero point calibration and CVT oil pressure calibration Click here.

    2. Check that no DTC is stored.
