DTC P0717

Circuit Description
The automatic transmission input shaft speed sensor (AT ISS) provides transmission input Speed to the PCM. The AT ISS is a permanent magnet generator. The sensor mounts Into the transmission case and maintains a slight air gap between the sensor and the drive sprocket. The AT ISS produces an AC voltage as the drive sprocket rotor teeth pass through the magnetic field of the sensor. The AC voltage level increases as the turbine shaft speed increases. The PCM converts the AC voltage into a digital signal. The PCM determines actual turbine speed using the digital signal. The PCM uses the input speed to calculate torque converter slip speed, and gear ratios.

When the PCM detects a low input speed and the vehicle has a large vehicle speed, then DTC P0717 sets. DTC P0717 is a type B DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC
^ No MAP DTC's P0107 or P0108.
^ No VSS DTC's P0502 or P0503.
^ The engine is running.
^ The TFP manual valve position switch indicates the vehicle is not in PARK or NEUTRAL.
^ The vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The input speed is less than 100 RPM for 5 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.
^ The PCM commands maximum line pressure.
^ The PCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
^ The PCM records the operating conditions when the
^ Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The PCM stores
^ this information as Freeze Frame and Failure Records.
^ The PCM stores DTC P0717 in PCM history during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
^ The PCM turns OFF the MIL during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs and passes.

^ A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC.
^ The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emissions-related diagnostic fault occurring.
^ The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids
Ensure the wiring harness is not stretched too tightly or other components are pressing on the connector body. Also, inspect for proper clearance to any other components and wiring.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
3. This step tests the AT ISS for correct resistance.
8. This step tests the AT ISS high signal circuit for being shorted to another circuit within the transmission.
