Hyundai: P0715 Can Mean a New Transmission Speed Sensor

Hyundai: P0715 Code Leads to Replaced Transmission Speed Sensor

Hynudai Elantra speed sensor tech tipComplaint
The customer states the check engine light is on.

Cause
Connected a scan tool and found codes P0715 — Input/Turbine Speed Sensor “A” Circuit. At idle, allowed the vehicle to reach operating temperature, checked the transmission fluid and found no obvious faults. Engine running, raised the vehicle and shifted the transmission into drive. Used a scan tool to monitor live data and found the transmission speed sensor parameter was 0 rpm with the wheels rotating. Key off, disconnected the transmission speed sensor harness connector, performed an inspection of the transmission speed sensor wiring harness and found no faults. Used a multimeter to measure the resistance of the transmission speed sensor and found it was out of limits.

Correction
Replaced the transmission speed sensor, cleared codes, performed a road test and verified the vehicle operated properly. The check engine light did not illuminate and no fault codes returned.

Honda Indirect TPMS Systems

Honda indirect TPMS systems do not have air pressure sensors inside the tires.

Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) are systems that do not have air pressure sensors inside the tires. Rather, they detect a low tire by comparing relative wheel speeds via the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) wheel speed sensors. When a tire loses air, its diameter decreases slightly.

Older indirect TPMS are not as sensitive to changes in tire pressure as direct systems that actually monitor the air pressure inside the tire, but they are not as expensive either.
