DTC P0793 Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor "A"


DESCRIPTION

This sensor detects the rotation speed of the counter gear. By comparing the counter gear speed signal (NC) with the direct clutch speed sensor signal (NT), the ECM detects the shift timing of the gears and appropriately controls the engine torque and hydraulic pressure according to various conditions. Thus smooth gear shifting is performed.

DTC No.

Engine speed 1,400 rpm

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The NC terminal of the ECM detects a revolution signal from the speed sensor (NC) (counter gear rpm). The ECM calculates a gearshift comparing the speed sensor (NT) with the speed sensor (NC).
While the vehicle is operating in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear in the shift position of D, if the counter gear revolution is less than 300 rpm *1although the output shaft revolution is more than 1,000 rpm *2, the ECM detects the trouble, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
*1: Pulse is not output or is irregularly output.
*2: The vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or more.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
Perform the universal trip to clear permanent DTCs (Link).
HINT:
Using 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.

READ DATA LIST
  1. Warm up the engine.

  2. Turn the ignition switch off.

  3. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.

  4. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.

  5. Turn on the tester.

  6. Select the item "Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List".

  7. According to the display on the tester, read the "Data List".

HINT:
  1. SPD (NC) is always 0 while driving:
    Open or short in the sensor or circuit.
  2. SPD (NC) 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.
