Title: U660E (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION / TRANSAXLE): AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: P0715,P0717; Input / Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction; 2016 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 08/2016]

DTC

P0715

Input / Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction

DTC

P0717

Input Speed Sensor Circuit No Signal

DESCRIPTION

This sensor detects the rotation speed of the turbine which shows the input speed of the transaxle. By comparing the input speed signal (NT) with the output speed sensor signal (NC), the TCM detects the shift timing of the gears and appropriately controls the engine torque and hydraulic pressure according to various conditions, thus, providing smooth gear shifts.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

P0715

When the speed sensor input voltage is either more than 1.9 V or less than 0.1 V for 4.5 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic).

  • Transmission revolution sensor (Input speed sensor NT)
  • Transmission wire
  • TCM

P0717

All conditions below are detected for 5 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic).

(a) Gear change is not being performed.

(b) Gear position: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th.

(c) T/M output shaft speed: 1000 rpm or more.

(d) Park/neutral position switch (NSW and R) is OFF

(e) Park/neutral position switch and vehicle speed sensor are in normal operation.

(f) T/M input shaft speed: Less than 300 rpm.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The NT terminal of the TCM detects a revolution signal from the input speed sensor (NT). The TCM calculates gear shifts comparing the input speed sensor (NT) with the output speed sensor (NC).

While the vehicle is operating in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear with the shift lever in D, if the input shaft speed is less than 300 rpm*1 although the output shaft speed is more than 1000 rpm, the TCM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Perform the universal trip to clear permanent DTCs (See page 2016 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 08/2016]; U660E (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION / TRANSAXLE): AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).

HINT:

Using the Techstream to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.

NOTICE:

In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.

  1. Warm up the engine.
  2. Turn the ignition switch off.
  3. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  5. Turn the Techstream on.
  6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List / All Data.
  7. According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.

    Normal Condition

    Diagnostic Note

    SPD (NT)

    Input turbine speed/

    Min.: 0 rpm, Max.: 12750 rpm

    Lock-up is

    • ON (After warming up the engine):

      Input turbine speed (NT) is equal to engine speed

    • OFF (idling with shift lever in N):

      Input turbine speed (NT) is nearly equal to engine speed

    Data is displayed in increments of 50 rpm

    HINT:

    • SPD (NT) is always 0 while driving: Open or short in the sensor or circuit.
    • SPD (NT) is always more than 0 and less than 300 rpm while driving the vehicle at 50 km/h (31 mph) or more: Sensor trouble, improper installation, or intermittent connection trouble of the circuit.

PROCEDURE

1.

INSPECT TRANSMISSION REVOLUTION SENSOR (SENSOR INSTALLATION)

(a) Remove the valve body assembly.

(b) Make sure that the connector is properly connected, and check the transmission revolution sensor installation.

OK:

The installation bolt is tightened properly and there is no clearance between the sensor and transmission valve body.

NG

SECURELY INSTALL OR REPLACE TRANSMISSION REVOLUTION SENSOR

OK

2.

INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE

(a) Remove the TCM.

(b) Disconnect the speed sensor connector from the transmission wire.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

(c) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Trouble Codes / Clear.

HINT:

Write down the currently output DTCs before clearing them.

(d) Perform the monitor drive pattern (See page 2016 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 08/2016]; U660E (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION / TRANSAXLE): AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN ).
