P0715

DTC P0715: Malfunction of Primary Pulley Speed Sensor

















DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
TCM determines that the malfunction is present when the primary pulley speed sensor value changes abruptly or when there is a discrepancy between this sensor and other sensors in sensor reading.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
^ The status with the secondary pulley speed of 1,000 r/min or more and with the primary pulley speed of 300 r/min or less continues for five seconds.
^ 0.1 second after the primary pulley speed has dropped abruptly from 1,000 r/min or more to 300 r/min or less
^ Primary pulley speed sensor is found abnormal by comparing the engine speed with the secondary pulley speed.

MONITOR EXECUTION
^ Continuous

^ Transmission range switch: normal.
^ Primary pulley speed sensor: normal.
^ Secondary pulley speed sensor: normal.

Judgement Criteria
^ Primary pulley speed [secondary pulley speed: 500 r/min or more]: 300 r/min or less. (5 seconds)
^ Primary pulley speed [last primary pulley speed: 1,000 r/min or more]: 300 r/min or less. (0.1 second)

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
All the conditions below continue for 6 seconds.
^ Transmission range switch: D
^ Vehicle speed: 10 km/h (6.2 mph) or more
^ Throttle position: 1/8 or more
^ Engine speed: 450 r/min or more
^ Transmission fluid temperature: 20°C (68°F) or more.
^ Transmission fluid temperature: 99°C (210°F) or more.

PROBABLE CAUSES
^ Malfunction of primary pulley speed sensor
^ Damaged wiring harness and connectors
^ Malfunction of TCM

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III data list
Item 1: Primary speed sensor signal (Refer to Data List Reference Table.) Data List Reference Table

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Intermittent malfunction
NO: Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the following connector:
^ B-07 Primary pulley speed sensor connector
^ C-40 TCM connector
^ A-09 Intermediate connector

Check the terminals for a contact status problem and internal short circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Repair the defective connector.

STEP 3. Check for open circuit in the wiring harness between the primary pulley speed sensor connector and the TCM connector
Between B-07 primary pulley speed sensor connector (terminal No.3) and C-40 TCM connector (terminal No.48)

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 4.
NO: Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 4. Check for open circuit and short to ground in wiring harness between the primary pulley speed sensor connector and the TCM connector
Between B-07 primary pulley speed sensor connector (terminal No.2) and C-40 TCM connector (terminal No.37)

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 5.
NO: Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 5. Check for open circuit in the wiring harness between the CVT control relay and the primary pulley speed sensor connector.
Between A-15X CVT control relay (terminal No.3) and B-07 primary pulley speed sensor connector (terminal No.1)

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 6.
NO: Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 6. Primary pulley speed sensor check
Visually check the tip of the sensor for foreign materials or damage.

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 7.
NO: Repair.

STEP 7. Diagnosis code recheck after replacing the primary pulley speed sensor

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: The inspection is complete.
NO: Replace TCM.
