Faulty signal. Permanent fault

Checking the transmission speed sensor signal








- Ignition off.
- Check the transmission control module (TCM) and transmission connectors for contact resistance and oxidation and remedy according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
- Reinstall the components, reconnect the connectors etc.
- Gear selector in 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).
If the transmission speed increases, the cause of the fault was loose connections in the control module or transmission speed sensor connectors.

Other information:
- To disconnect the transmission control module (TCM), see Transmission control module (TCM), replacing, B5244T5, AW55-50/51SN, B5254T2, AW55-50/51SN, B5254T2, AW50/51 AWD Service and Repair.
- To disconnect the automatic transmission connector, see the relevant service procedure.
- For information about signals, see Signal description. Transmission control module (TCM), AW50/51 AWD, AW55-50/51SN Signal Description. Transmission Control Module (TCM).





Does the transmission input 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 for the engine speed (RPM) sensor between control module terminal #A59 (#A59) and transmission connector terminal #16. 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 control module terminal #A41 (#A41) and transmission connector terminal A#17. 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 and the ignition on, the voltage between transmission speed sensor connector terminals #1 and #2 should be approximately 1-3 V below Ubat.

Remedy as necessary.

Verification

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








- Ignition off.
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Start the engine and let it idle.
- Gear selector in position P.
- Read off the transmission speed.
Depress the accelerator pedal (AP) and check that engine speed (RPM) is updated.
Compare with the engine speed (RPM).





Is the speed updated?

Yes - VERIFIED

No - VERIFICATION FAILEDPAPER

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

VERIFIED - Fault Found

VERIFICATION FAILED - Fault-tracing information

Information

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.

Do you want to exit fault-tracing?

Yes - FAULT-TRACING FAILED

No - Attempt New Test
