DTC P0723: Output Shaft (Countershaft) Speed Sensor (Intermittent Failure) (2013-15)

DTC (A/T)

1. Problem verification:

   - 1. Press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

   - 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

   Clear DTC

   - 3. Raise the vehicle on a lift. Make sure it is securely supported, and allow all four wheels to rotate freely.

   - 4. Start the engine, disable the VSA by pressing the VSA OFF button.

   - 5. Run the vehicle with the shift lever in D, and keep the vehicle at speeds over 12 mph (20 km/h). Compare the Input Shaft (Mainshaft) Speed (rpm) and the Output Shaft (Countershaft) Speed (rpm) with the HDS. Slow down, and stop the wheels.

   Signal	Current conditions
   	Values	Unit
   Input Shaft (Mainshaft) Speed (rpm)
   Output Shaft (CounterShaft) Speed (rpm)

   Are the speeds about the same?

   YES 

   Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections and loose terminals between the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor and the PCM.

   NO 

   The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

2. Open wire check (VCC1 line):

   - 1. Press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

   - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

   Output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor 3P connector

   - 3. Press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

   - 4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	ON mode
   	Output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor 3P connector: disconnected
   Test circuit	VCC1
   Test point 1	Output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor 3P connector No. 3 (PNK)
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there about 5 V?

   YES 

   The VCC1 wire is OK. Go to step 3.

   NO 

   Repair an open in the VCC1 wire between the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor and the PCM, then do the repair verification.

3. Determine possible failure area (NC line, others):

   Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	ON mode
   	Output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor 3P connector: disconnected
   Test circuit	NC
   Test point 1	Output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor 3P connector No. 2 (TAN)
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there about 5 V?

   YES 

   Go to step 4.

   NO 

   Go to step 5.

4. Open wire check (SG2 line):

   - 1. Press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

   - 2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	OFF mode
   	Output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor 3P connector: disconnected
   Test circuit	SG2
   Test point 1	Output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor 3P connector No. 1 (GRY)
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   The SG2 wire is OK. Replace the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor , then do the repair verification.

   NO 

   Repair an open in the SG2 wire between the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor and the PCM, then do the repair verification.

5. Shorted wire check (NC line):

   - 1. Press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

   - 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

   SCS Short

   - 3. Disconnect the following connector.

   PCM connector B (49P) - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems (2013-15), or How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2013-15)

   - 4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	OFF mode
   	Output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor 3P connector: disconnected
   	PCM connector B (49P): disconnected
   Test circuit	NC
   Test point 1	Output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor 3P connector No. 2 (TAN)
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Repair a short to ground in the NC wire between the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor and the PCM, then do the repair verification.

   NO 

   The NC wire is not shorted. Repair an open in the NC wire between the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor and the PCM, then do the repair verification.

6. Repair verification:

   - 1. Reconnect all connectors.

   - 2. Exit the SCS mode with the HDS.

   SCS Open

   - 3. Press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

   - 4. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

   - 5. Start the engine, disable the VSA by pressing the VSA OFF button.

   - 6. Run the vehicle with the shift lever in D, and keep the vehicle at speeds over 12 mph (20 km/h). Compare the Input Shaft (Mainshaft) Speed (rpm) and the Output Shaft (Countershaft) Speed (rpm) with the HDS. Slow down, and stop the wheels.

   Are the speeds about the same?

   YES 

   Troubleshooting is complete.

   NO 

   Replace the PCM .
