P0715 Drive Shaft Speed Inductive Sensor

P07200

Diagnostic information - Tiptronic

P0715 Drive shaft speed inductive sensor

NOTE: The ignition must be switched off and then switched on again in order to display a fault message in the instrument cluster.

Diagnostic conditions
The control unit must be active in order to test internal function sequences and diagnosable inputs/outputs.
In the event of a fault, check whether the fault is permanently >present<. To perform the check, erase the fault memory, meet the diagnostic conditions and read out the fault memory again.
- Voltage > 10.2 V and < 15.5 V
- Ignition on
- Tiptronic control unit, internal function test
- Brake not actuated
- No faults stored for DME control unit
- Engine runs without malfunctions, engine speed > 300 rpm

Possible fault causes
- Short circuit to B+/ground/between lines or open circuit
- Electrical fault in circuit
- Drive shaft speed inductive sensor faulty
- Tiptronic control unit faulty

Fault effects
- Fault display in multi-function display in instrument cluster
- Check Engine warning light in instrument cluster [ON]
- Limp-home mode 1
- No speed signal if communication with the DME control unit also fails
- The method used to calculate the drive shaft speed changes
- Hard shifts during gear change from [P] to [N / R / D] and vice versa when vehicle is stationary
- No change from [P] to [N]
- No self-teaching check [Adaptation]
