For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.The transmission system uses two speed sensors, one to measure input rpm and one to measure output rpm. These inputs are essential for proper transmission operation. Therefore, the integrity of this data is verified through the following checks: 1) When in gear, if the gear ratio does not compare to a known gear ratio, the corresponding in-gear trouble code is set (DTCs P0729 and P0731-P0736). 2) An excessive change in input or output speeds indicating signal intermittent will result in codes P0716 and/or P0721 being set.3) If the common speed sensor ground circuit is lost, both sensor inputs will read the signal from the input speed sensor at idle in neutral. Since the input speed sensor has 60 teeth and the output speed sensor has 30 teeth, this results in a an apparent speed ratio of 1:2 and may cause the DTC P1794 to set. When Monitored:The transmission gear ratio is monitored continuously while the transmission is in gear.Set Condition:If there is an excessive change in output rpm in any gear. This DTC can take up to five minutes of problem identification before illuminating the MIL.Possible Causes(T14) OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN(T13) SPEED SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN(T14) OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND(T13) SPEED SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND(T14) OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE(T13) SPEED SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGEOUTPUT SPEED SENSORPOWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULEAlways perform the 45RFE/545RFE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure before proceeding.
