Faulty signal. Permanent fault

Checking the transmission output speed sensor signal








- Ignition off
- Check the control module and transmission output speed sensor connectors. Check for contact resistance and oxidation according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault
- Reinstall the components, reconnect the connectors etc.
- Raise the car so that the drive wheels can rotate freely
- Engine idling
- Gear selector in position D
- Read off the transmission output speed signal.
Check that the speed increases with engine speed (RPM). If the speed is updated, the cause of the fault was loose connections in the control module or vehicle speed sensor (VSS) connectors.

Note! A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) may be stored in the ABS system when the rear wheels are stationary and the front wheels rotate. Erase any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in the ABS system after completing fault-tracing.

Does the speed increase with engine speed (RPM)?

Yes - Fault Found

No - Checking wiring and sensors

Checking wiring and sensors




- Ignition off
- Connect the breakout box.
Check the power supply cable between transmission output speed sensor connector terminal #A4 (control module side) and control module terminal #57 (#A57). Check for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault. Check for a short-circuit to ground according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Check the signal cable between transmission output speed sensor connector terminal #A3 (control module side) and control module terminal #39 (#A39). Check for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault. Check for a short-circuit to ground according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.

Hint: With the control module connected, the transmission output speed sensor disconnected and the ignition on, the voltage between transmission output speed sensor connector terminals #A3 and #A4 must be approximately 1-3 V below Ubat.

Remedy as necessary.

Was a fault detected?

Yes - Verification

No - No Fault Found

Verification

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off.
- Reinstall connectors, components etc.
- Raise car so that drive wheels are unimpeded.
- Start the engine and let it idle.
- Shift gear selector to position D so that the drive wheels begin to rotate.
- Read off the transmission speed.
Check that speed is updated

Note! When the rear wheels are stationary and the front wheels rotate, diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) can be stored in the ABS system. Erase any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in the ABS system after fault-tracing.

Note! Ensure that the wheels are not rotating when the gear selector is moved.

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.
