P0715

DTC P0715: Input Shaft (Mainshaft) Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction (M/T) (2006 model)

NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information.

1. Start the engine, and let it idle.
2. Check the M SHAFT SPD in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

Is any input shaft (mainshaft) speed indicated?

YES - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor and the ECM.

NO - Go to step 3.

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Disconnect the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor 3P connector.
5. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).




6. Measure voltage between input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor 3P connector terminal No.1 and body ground.

Is there about 5 V?

YES - Go to step 7.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the ECM (D12) and the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor, then go to step 21.




7. Measure voltage between input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor 3P connector terminal No.2 and body ground.

Is there about 5 V?

YES - Go to step 8.

NO - Go to step 14.




8. Measure voltage between input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor 3P connector terminals No.1 and No.3.

Is there about 5 V?

YES - Go to step 19.

NO - Go to step 9.

9. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
10. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
11. Disconnect ECM connector C (22P).




12. Connect input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor 3P connector terminal No.3 to body ground with a jumper wire.




13. Check for continuity between ECM connector terminal C12 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES - Go to step 27.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the ECM (C12) and the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor, then go to step 21.




14. Measure voltage between ECM connector terminal D8 and body ground.

Is there about 5 V?

YES - Repair open in the wire between the ECM (D8) and the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor, then go to step 21.

NO - Go to step 15.

15. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
16. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
17. Disconnect ECM connector D (17P).




18. Check for continuity between ECM connector terminal D8 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short in the wire between the ECM (D8) and the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor, then go to step 21.

NO - Go to step 27.

19. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
20. Replace the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor.
21. Reconnect all connectors.
22. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
23. Reset the ECM with the HDS.
24. Do the ECM idle learn procedure.
25. Test-drive under these conditions:
- Engine coolant temperature above 158 degrees F (70 degrees C)
- Transmission in 3rd gear
- Engine speed at 2,000 - 3,000 rpm
- Drive for several minutes

26. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?

YES - If DTC P0715 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor and the ECM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

NO - Troubleshooting is complete.

27. Update the ECM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM.
28. Test-drive under these conditions:
- Engine coolant temperature above 158 degrees F (70 degrees C)
- Transmission in 3rd gear
- Engine speed at 2,000 - 3,000 rpm
- Drive for several minutes

29. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?

YES - If DTC P0715 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor and the ECM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

NO - If the ECM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM was substituted, replace the original ECM.
