Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The PCM calculates the gear ratio based on data from the automatic transmission input shaft speed (AT ISS) sensor and the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). The PCM compares the known transmission gear ratio to a calculated ratio for each gear range selected. The VSS output is translated to RPM and mph by the PCM for various uses. Refer to Range Reference (Without Touch Activated Power) or Range Reference (With Touch Activated Power) .

If the PCM detects an incorrect gear ratio because of excessive slip within the transmission, then DTC P0730 sets. DTC P0730 is a type C DTC.
