CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0720 and P0722

DTC Code DTC Name
P0720 Output Speed Sensor Circuit
P0722 Output Speed Sensor Circuit No Signal

DESCRIPTION

The ECM receives a signal from the secondary pulley speed sensor (transmission revolution sensor (NOUT)) installed in the continuously variable transaxle and determines the output shaft speed in order to control the gear ratio.

The transmission revolution sensor (NOUT) detects the continuously variable transaxle output shaft speed and sends a signal to the ECM.

DTC No.

Output Speed Sensor Circuit No Signal

  1. Diagnosis Condition

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

  3. Malfunction Status

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

  5. Malfunction Time

    • 2 seconds

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM receives a signal from the secondary pulley speed sensor (transmission revolution sensor (NOUT)) installed in the continuously variable transaxle and determines the output shaft speed in order to control the gear ratio.

If the ECM detects no signal from the secondary pulley speed sensor (transmission revolution sensor (NOUT)) even while the vehicle is moving, it will determine that there is a malfunction in the secondary pulley speed sensor (transmission revolution sensor (NOUT)). The ECM will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.

    3. Wave a magnetic object left and right in front of the transmission revolution sensor (NOUT) tip (5 mm (0.197 in.) or less) 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.
