P0715

DTC P1766 (P0715): Input Shaft Speed Sensor System (Short Circuit/Open Circuit)






























CIRCUIT OPERATION

- The input shaft speed sensor generates 0[ =] 5 volts pulse signal when the input shaft rotates. The pulse signal frequency increases with a rise in input shaft speed.
- The input shaft speed sensor is connected to the PCM (terminals 111 and 113) via the input shaft speed sensor connector (terminals 1 and 2).
- The PCM detects the input shaft speed by the signal input to terminal 111.
- The input shaft speed sensor generates the pulse signal as the teeth of the underdrive clutch retainer pass the magnetic tip of the sensor.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

- If there is no detection pulse from input shaft speed sensor (turbine rotation) even during driving test at more than specified speed, PCM judges that input shaft speed sensor has a failure.

MONITOR EXECUTION

- Continuous
