U241E AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE: AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: P0793: Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor "A"

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 approximately controls the engine torque and hydraulic pressure according to various conditions. Thus smooth gear shifting is performed.






MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The NC terminal of the ECM detects revolution signals from speed sensor NC (counter gear rpm). The ECM calculates gear shifts by comparing speed sensor NT with speed sensor NC.
While the vehicle is operating in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th gear position with the shift lever on D, if the counter gear revolution is less than 300 rpm*1 and 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

1. DATA LIST
HINT: Using an intelligent tester or Techstream Data List allows switch, sensor, actuator and other item values to be read without removing any parts. Reading the Data List early in troubleshooting is one way to save time.
NOTE: 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.

(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
(c) Connect the intelligent tester or Techstream to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester switch ON.
(e) Enter the following menus:
(1) Intelligent tester - Select: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST.
(2) Techstream - Select: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.
(f) Follow the instructions on the tester and read the Data List.
(1) Intelligent tester





(2) Techstream





HINT:
- SPD (NC) is always 0 rpm while driving:
Open or short in the sensor or circuit.
- SPD (NC) is always more than 0 rpm 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.

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT SPEED SENSOR NC (INSTALLATION)





(a) Check the speed sensor NC installation.
OK:
Installation bolt is tightened properly and there is no clearance between the sensor and transaxle case.
NG -- SECURELY INSTALL SENSOR OR REPLACE SPEED SENSOR NC
OK -- Continue to next step.
2. INSPECT SPEED SENSOR NC





(a) Disconnect the B32 speed sensor NC connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance:






NG -- REPLACE SPEED SENSOR NC
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPEED SENSOR NC - ECM)





(a) Disconnect the B33 ECM connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance:






NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- REPLACE ECM
