## DTC P0717 L61

### Circuit Description

The input speed sensor (ISS) provides transaxle input speed to the PCM. The ISS is a permanent magnet (PM) generator. The sensor mounts into the transaxle case and maintains a slight air gap between the sensor and the drive sprocket. The PM generator produces an AC voltage as the drive sprocket rotor teeth pass through the sensor's magnetic field. The AC voltage level increases as the turbine shaft speed increases. The PCM converts the AC voltage into a digital signal. The PCM determines actual turbine speed using the digital signal. The PCM uses the input speed to calculate torque converter slip speed and gear ratios.

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC P0717 will set if the PCM detects that input shaft speed (transmission ISS) is less than 100 rpm for 5 seconds when the following conditions have been met:

• | Vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h (5 mph)

• | Engine running

• | TFP switches indicate vehicle is not in Park or Neutral

• | No OSS or P1810 DTCs have been set

### Diagnostic Aids

• | If the engine is running and the vehicle is moving above 12 km/h (7 mph), the input speed must be non-zero.

• | Inspect the wiring at the PCM, the transmission connector and the A/T connector for the following conditions:

- | A bent terminal

- | A backed-out terminal

- | A damaged terminal

- | Poor terminal tension

- | A chafed wire

- | A broken wire inside the insulation

- | Moisture intrusion

- | Corrosion

When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open condition, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change.
