Signal Missing. Permanent Fault






Signal missing. Permanent fault

Checking the transmission speed sensor signal




- Move the gear selector to position P.
- Start the engine and let it idle.
- Read off the transmission speed.
Check that the transmission speed is updated.
Compare with the engine speed (RPM).





Is the speed updated?

Yes - No Fault Found

No - Checking wiring and sensors

-------------------------------------------------

Checking wiring and sensors




- Ignition off.
Check the transmission control module (TCM) and speed sensor connectors for contact resistance and oxidation according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Check the power supply cable between transmission control module (TCM) #A59 (#A59)and transmission connector A #16 for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Check the signal cable between transmission control module (TCM) #A41 (#A41) and transmission connector A #17 for an intermittent open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.

Hint: With the transmission control module connected, the ignition on and a voltmeter connected between transmission connectors #16 and #17 (control module side), the voltage should be approximately 3 V below Ubat.

Remedy as necessary.
