DTC P0717: Problem in Input Shaft (Mainshaft) Speed Sensor Circuit (No Signal Input)

NOTE:
^ Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review General Troubleshooting Information.
^ This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission.

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
3. Check for proper input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor installation.
4. Raise the front of the vehicle, make sure it is securely supported, and allow the front wheels to rotate freely. Or raise the vehicle on a hoist.

Is there about 5 V?
YES - Go to step 19.
NO - Go to step 15.

15. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
16. Disconnect PCM connector B (44P).
17. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal B18 and input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 1.





Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 18.
NO - Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal B18 and the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor, then go to step 33.

18. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal B18 and body ground.





Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short to body ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal B18 and the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor, then go to step 33.
NO - Go to step 39.

19. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
20. Disconnect PCM connector B (44P).
21. Check for continuity between input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.





Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short to body ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal B17 and the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor, then go to step 33.
NO - Go to step 22.

22. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal B33 and input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 3.





Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 23.
NO - Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal B33 and the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor, then go to step 33.

23. Connect PCM connector B (44P).
24. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
25. Measure voltage between input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor connector terminals No. 2 and No. 3.





Is there about 5 V?
YES - Go to step 29.
NO - Go to step 26.

26. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
27. Disconnect PCM connector B (44P).
28. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal B17 and input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 2.





Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 39.
NO - Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal B17 and the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor, then go to step 33.

29. Connect the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor connector.
30. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
31. Start the engine, run the vehicle in the D position, and hold the vehicle at speeds over 30 mph (48 km/h) for more than 10 seconds. Slow down and stop the wheels.
32. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0717 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate FAILED?
YES - Replace the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor, then go to step 33.
NO - Go to step 39.

33. Reconnect all connectors.
34. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
35. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
36. Start the engine, run the vehicle in the D position and hold the vehicle at speeds over 30 mph (48 km/h) for more than 10 seconds. Slow down and stop the wheels.
37. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0717 indicated?
YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals between the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor and the PCM, then go to step 1.
NO - Go to step 38.

38. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0717 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate PASSED?
YES - Troubleshooting is complete. If any other DTCs were indicated in step 37, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals between the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor and the PCM, then go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 36.

39. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known good PCM.
40. Start the engine, run the vehicle in the D position and hold the vehicle at speeds over 30 mph (48 km/h) for more than 10 seconds. Slow down and stop the wheels.
41. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0717 indicated?
YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals between the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM, then go to step 40. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1.
NO - Go to step 42.

42. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0717 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate PASSED?
YES - If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM. If any other DTCs were indicated in step 41, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals between the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM, then go to step 40. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 40.
