DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the rotation speed of the turbine which shows the input revolution of the transmission. By comparing the input turbine speed signal NT with the counter gear speed sensor signal SP2, the ECM 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 Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
---|---|---|
P0717 | All the conditions below are detected for 5 sec. or more (1 trip detection logic). (a) Gear change is not performed. (b) The gear position is 4th or 5th. (c) The T/M input shaft rpm is 300 rpm or less. (d) The T/M output shaft rpm is 1000 rpm or more. (e) The park/neutral position switch:
(f) The shift solenoid valves and park/neutral position switch are operating normally. |

Reference: Inspect using an oscilloscope.
Check the waveform of the ECM connector.

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

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
DATA LIST
Tech Tips
Using the intelligent tester 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 engine switch off.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the intelligent tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.
According to the display on the tester, read the Data List.
Tester Display | Measurement Item/Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
---|---|---|---|
SPD (NT) | Input shaft speed/ Min.: 0 rpm Max.: 12750 rpm |
Lock-up:
|
The data is displayed in increments of 50 rpm. |
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 of the circuit.
