DTC P0715 Input/Turbine Speed Sensor "A" Circuit

DTC P0717 Input/Turbine Speed Sensor "A" Circuit No Signal


DESCRIPTION

The ECM receives a signal from the turbine speed sensor (transmission revolution sensor (NT)) installed in the continuously variable transaxle to control the lock-up engagement pressure and forward and reverse clutch pressure.
The transmission revolution sensor (NT) detects the continuously variable transaxle input shaft speed and sends it to the ECM.

  1. The vehicle is driven with the shift lever in D, the output shaft speed is 300 rpm or more, and no error is detected in the park/neutral position switch.
  2. The speed indicated by the transmission revolution sensor (NT) is less than 300 rpm.

  4. 1 trip detection logic
  1. Open or short in transmission revolution sensor (NT) circuit
  2. Transmission revolution sensor (NT)
  3. ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The turbine speed sensor detects the transaxle input shaft speed. The ECM determines the necessary gear ratio based on a comparison of the turbine speed sensor (input shaft speed) with the output speed sensor (output shaft speed).
When the output shaft speed is higher than the expected value and the input shaft speed is less than 300 rpm while driving with the shift lever in D, the ECM will conclude that there is a malfunction in the transmission revolution sensor (NT). The ECM will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.

  1. Remove the transmission revolution sensor (NT) (RAV4_ACA30 RM000000OE402CX.html).

  1. Connect the battery to the sensor as shown in the illustration.

  1. Wave a magnetic object left and right in front of the transmission revolution sensor (NT) tip (5 mm (0.197 in.) gap or closer) to change the high/low signals while measuring the current.

    NOTICE:
    Make sure to wave the magnetic object during the inspection. The current will not change without waving the magnetic object as indicated by the arrow in the illustration.

  1. Measure the current according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard Current:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    1 - 2
    		Low signal
    		4 to 8 mA

5.PERFORM INITIALIZATION
NOTICE:
  1. Performing reset memory will clear the learned values of both the yaw rate sensor assembly*1 or deceleration sensor*2 (deceleration sensor 0 point calibration) and CVT oil pressure (CVT oil pressure calibration). Make sure to perform reset memory, yaw rate sensor assembly*1 or deceleration sensor*2 0 point calibration and CVT oil pressure calibration when replacing any of the parts shown in the following table:
    Replaced Part
    1. Continuously variable transaxle assembly
    2. ECM
    3. Oil pressure sensor
    4. Yaw rate sensor assembly (w/ VSC)
    5. Deceleration sensor (w/o VSC)
    6. Brake actuator assembly (skid control ECU)
  2. After performing reset memory, always perform yaw rate sensor assembly*1 or deceleration sensor*2 (deceleration sensor 0 point) calibration first, and then CVT oil pressure calibration.
  3. Always perform 0 point calibration with the vehicle on level ground.
  4. Do not shake or vibrate the vehicle during 0 point calibration.
