What are the symptoms of a bad turbine speed sensor?
5 Common Bad Speed Sensor Symptoms
- Transmission problems.
- Erratic speedometer readings.
- Inability to engage cruise control.
- Lack of torque converter clutch application.
- Check Engine Light is triggered.
- An internal electrical fault in the speed sensor.
- Damage on the sensor itself.
- Poor vehicle maintenance.
How do you test a turbine speed sensor?
Disconnect the sensor from the housing on the transmission, as indicated in the repair manual for your car. Disconnect the sensor’s wire coupling. Using the multimeter’s voltmeter connect the probes to the ground and reference wires in the connector. If no voltage is received, the sensor is faulty.
What is the purpose of a turbine speed sensor?
A turbine speed sensor, also termed an input speed sensor, is used for measuring the performance of the turbine by evaluating transmission performance and other components of the turbine. It also detects the rotation speed of the turbine, which shows the input revolution of the transaxle.
What is the diagnostic code for input speed sensor?
P0715 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “Input/Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction”. This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation.
How does the input / turbine speed sensor work?
This sensor can measure how many RPM (revolutions per minute) your input shaft is turning. Once the PCM detects an irregularity in RPM input, it will trigger the illumination of the Check Engine Light.
What should I do about my p0715 speed sensor?
The most common repairs for a P0715 are as follows: Replacing the input speed sensor Repairing damaged wiring for the input speed sensor Additional comments for consideration regarding the P0715 code
