DTC P0718: Input Shaft (Mainshaft) Speed Sensor Intermittent Failure NOTE: Record all freeze data and review General Troubleshooting Information before you troubleshoot. This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission. Clear the DTC with the HDS. Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in the D position in all five gears. Monitor the OBD status for P0718 in the DTCs/Freeze Data in A/T Mode Menu for a pass/fail. Does the result indicate a fail?
YES | - | Go to Step 4 .
NO | - | Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor and PCM. If the tester indicates NOT COMPLETE, return to Step 2 and recheck.■
Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor connector, and inspect the connector and connector terminals to be sure they are making good contact. Are the connector terminals OK?
YES | - | Go to Step 6 .
NO | - | Repair the connector terminals, then go to Step 6 .
Connect the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor connector. Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes, and monitor the OBD status for P0718 in the DTCs/Freeze Data in A/T Mode Menu for a pass/fail. Does the result indicate a fail?
YES | - | Go to Step 8 .
NO | - | The problem has been corrected. If the tester indicates NOT COMPLETE, return to Step 7 and recheck.■
Turn the ignition switch OFF. Jump the SCS line with the HDS. Disconnect PCM connector C (22P). Disconnect the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor connector. Check for continuity between input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. Is there continuity?
YES | - | Repair short to ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal C19 and the input shaft (mainshaft) speed sensor connector, then go to Step 19 .
NO | - | Go to Step 13 .
