DTC P0715: Malfunction of Primary Pulley Speed Sensor

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

TCM determines that the malfunction is present when the primary pulley speed sensor value changes abruptly or when there is a discrepancy between this sensor and other sensors in sensor reading.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

The status with the secondary pulley speed of 500 r/min or more and with the primary pulley speed of 300 r/min or less continues for 5 seconds.
When the primary pulley speed has dropped abruptly from 1,000 r/min or more to 300 r/min or less, and then it keeps 300 r/min or less for 0.5 seconds continuously.

MONITOR EXECUTION

transmission range:D
Throttle valve opening : 1/8 or more
Engine speed : 450 r/min or more

LOGIC FLOW CHARTS (Monitor Sequence)

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

Transmission range switch position: D.
Secondary pulley speed: 500 r/min or more.
Primary pulley speed at 10 millisecond before: 1,000 r/min or more.
Throttle position sensor voltage: 1.37 volts or more.
Engine speed: 450 r/min or more.
Voltage of battery: 9 volts or more.
Voltage of battery: 16 volts or less.

Judgment Criteria

Primary pulley speed [secondary pulley speed: 500 r/min or more]: 300 r/min or less. (5 seconds)
Primary pulley speed [Primary pulley speed at 10 millisecond before: 1,000 r/min or more]: 300 r/min or less. (0.5 second)

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

transmission range: D (Drive the vehicle for 20 seconds or more while the accelerator opening angle is 20% or more)

PROBABLE CAUSES

Malfunction of primary pulley speed sensor
Damaged wiring harness and connectors
Malfunction of TCM

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III data list

Item 1: Primary speed sensor signal (Refer to Data List Reference Table

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Intermittent malfunction

	Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the following connector:

B-07 Primary pulley speed sensor connector
C-40 TCM connector
A-09 Intermediate connector

Check the terminals for a contact status problem and internal short circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 3.

	Repair the defective connector.

STEP 3. Check for open circuit in the wiring harness between the primary pulley speed sensor connector and the TCM connector

Between B-07 primary pulley speed sensor connector (terminal No.3) and C-40 TCM connector (terminal No.48)

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 4.

	Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 4. Check for open circuit and short to ground in wiring harness between the primary pulley speed sensor connector and the TCM connector

Between B-07 primary pulley speed sensor connector (terminal No.2) and C-40 TCM connector (terminal No.37)

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 5.

	Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 5. Check for open circuit in the wiring harness between the CVT control relay and the primary pulley speed sensor connector.

Between A-15X CVT control relay (terminal No.3) and B-07 primary pulley speed sensor connector (terminal No.1)

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 6.

	Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 6. Primary pulley speed sensor check

Visually check the tip of the sensor for foreign materials or damage.

Q. Is the check result normal?

	Go to Step 7.

	Repair.

STEP 7. Diagnosis code recheck after replacing the primary pulley speed sensor

Q. Is the check result normal?

	The procedure is complete.

	Replace TCM.
