P0730


P0730 INCORRECT GEAR RATIO





Description
TCM selects the gear ratio using the engine load (throttle position), the primary pulley revolution speed, and the secondary pulley revolution speed as input signal. Then it changes the operating pressure of the primary pulley and the secondary pulley and changes the groove width of the pulley.




CONSULT-III Reference Value









On Board Diagnosis Logic
- This is not an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.
- TCM calculates the actual gear ratio with primary speed sensor and secondary speed sensor.
- Diagnostic trouble code "P0730" with CONSULT-III is detected, when TCM receives an unexpected gear ratio signal.




Possible Cause
Transaxle assembly
