P0720

DTC P0720 VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR-A/T (REVOLUTION SENSOR)
Description





The revolution sensor detects the revolution of the idler gear parking pawl lock gear and emits a pulse signal. The pulse signal is sent to the TCM which converts it into vehicle speed.

On Board Diagnosis Logic
Diagnostic trouble code VEH SPD SEN/CIR AT with CONSULT-II or P0720 without CONSULT-II is detected when TCM does not receive the proper voltage signal from the sensor.

Possible Cause
Check the following items.
- Harness or connectors (The sensor circuit is open or shorted.)
- Revolution sensor

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Confirmation Procedure

CAUTION:
- Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.

If the check result is NG, go to "Diagnostic Procedure" below. If the check result is OK, go to following step.
3. Select "DATA MONITOR" mode for "ENGINE" with CONSULT-II.
4. Start engine and maintain the following conditions for at least 5 consecutive seconds.
VHCL SPEED SE: 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more
THRTL POS SEN: More than 1.2V
Selector lever: D position
Driving location: Driving the vehicle uphill (increased engine load) will help maintain the driving conditions required for this test.
If the check result is NG, go to "Diagnostic Procedure" below.
If the check result is OK, go to following step.
5. Maintain the following conditions for at least 5 consecutive seconds.
CMPS.RPM (REP): 3,500 rpm or more

OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Repair or replace damaged parts.

3. CHECK DTC
Perform "Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Confirmation Procedure".
OK or NG
OK >> INSPECTION END
NG >> GO T0 4.

4. CHECK TCM INSPECTION
1. Perform TCM input/output signal inspection.
2. If NG, recheck TCM pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector.
OK or NG
