P0722
DTC P0722: Output Shaft (Countershaft) Speed Sensor Circuit (No Signal Input)NOTE:
^ Record all freeze data and review General Troubleshooting Information before you troubleshoot.
^ This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission.
1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
2. Raise the front of the vehicle, make sure it is securely supported, and allow the front wheels to rotate freely.
3. Start the engine, drive the vehicle in the D position, and hold the vehicle at speeds over 30 mph (48 km/h) for more than 10 seconds. Slow down and stop the wheels.
4. Check the OBD STATUS in DTCs MENU for a pass/fail test of code P0722.
Did the result indicate a fail?
YES-Go to step 5.
NO-Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor and PCM. If the tester indicates NOT COMPLETE, return to step 3 and rechecked
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
7. Disconnect PCM connectors B (24P) and E (31P), and output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector.
8. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminals B15 and body ground, and between E3 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES-Go to step 9.
NO-Repair open in the wires between PCM connector terminals B15, E3, and ground (G101, G102), or repair poor ground (G101, G102), then go to step 30.
9. Connect PCM connectors B (24P) and E (31P).
10. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
11. Measure the voltage between output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.
Is there about 5 V ?
YES-Go to step 12.
NO-Go to step 24.
12. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
13. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
14. Disconnect PCM connector D (17P).
15. Check for continuity between output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES-Repair short to ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal D14 and output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor, then go to step 30.
NO-Go to step 16.
16. Check for continuity between output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 3 and PCM connector terminal D4.
Is there continuity?
YES-Go to step 17.
NO-Repair open in the wire between the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector and PCM connector terminal D4, then go to step 30.
17. Connect PCM connector D (17P).
18. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
19. Measure the voltage between output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector terminals No. 2 and No. 3.
Is there about 5 V?
YES-Go to step 20.
NO-Go to step 29.
20. Connect the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector.
21. Measure the voltage between PCM connector terminals D14 and B15 or E3.
Is the voltage 0 V or about 5 V?
YES-Go to step 22.
NO-Replace the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor, then go to step 30.
22. Shift to the P position. Start the engine, and let it idle.
23. Shift to the D position, and measure the voltage between PCM connector terminals D14 and B15 or E3.
Is there 1.5 - 3.5 V?
YES-Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM.
NO-Replace the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor, then go to step 30.
24. Measure the voltage between PCM connector terminals D6 and B15 or E3.
Is there about 5 V?
YES-Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal D6 and the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor, then go to step 30.
NO-Go to step 25.
25. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
26. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
27. Disconnect PCM connector D (17P).
28. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal D6 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES-Repair short to ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal D6 and the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor, then go to step 30.
NO-Check for loose or poor connections at PCM connector terminal D6. If the connection is OK, update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM.
29. Measure the voltage between PCM connector terminals D14 and B15 or E3.
Is there about 5 V?
YES-Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal D14 and the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor, then go to step 30.
NO-Check for loose or poor connections at PCM connector terminal D14. If the connection is OK, update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM.
30. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
31. Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in the D position in all five gears.
32. Check the OBD STATUS in DTCs MENU for a pass/fail test of code P0722.
Did the result indicate a pass?
YES-The problem has been corrected.
NO-Return to step 1 and recheck.
