DTC P0720 OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT

DTC P0720 OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT

OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS

Judge NG when an abnormal large signal is input to the front vehicle speed sensor, or no signal is input to the rear vehicle speed sensor.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

This vehicle speed sensor (output shaft speed sensor) is installed to the outside of transmission case.

This sensor detects the front wheel speed, and transmits the sine wave signal (32 pulses per rev.) to TCM.

TCM converts the signal to pulse signal, and transmits to both of the ECM and the combination meter.

ENABLE CONDITION

Secondary Parameters Enable Conditions
Vehicle speed

≥ 20 km/h (12 MPH)



GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE

Always perform the diagnosis with more than 20 km/h (12 MPH) vehicle speed.

DIAGNOSTIC METHOD

Judgment Value

Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value
Vehicle speed sensor

Front

≥ 255 km/h (158 MPH)

Rear

= 0 km/h (0 MPH)

Front vehicle speed sensor(During vehicle running at 20 km/h)

= 0 km/h (0 MPH)



Time Needed for Diagnosis: 63.75 seconds

Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles.

DTC CLEAR CONDITION


When the OK idling cycle was completed 40 times in a row

When “Clear Memory” was performed


MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CLEAR CONDITION


When the OK driving cycle was completed 3 times in a row

When “Clear Memory” was performed


FAIL SAFE


Use the normal vehicle speed sensor signal when either of them is normal.

Use the vehicle speed calculated from the current gear position and turbine speed when both front and rear wheels are troubled.


ECM OPERATION AT DTC SETTING

Memorize the freeze frame data. (For test mode $02)
