Inspect wiring for poor connections at VCM and at transmission 20-pin connector. Check for bent, backed out, deformed or damaged terminals. Check for weak terminal tension. Check for chafed wire that could short to bare metal or other wiring. Check for broken wire inside insulation. If diagnosing for intermittent short or open condition, move wiring harness while observing scan tool for value change. A false or incorrect input or OSS sensor signal can set DTC P0730. Ensure aftermarket equipment is installed properly. Sticking or contaminated shift solenoids may cause intermittent incorrect gear ratios. First diagnose and clear any engine and TP sensor DTCs that are present, then inspect for any transmission DTCs that may have reset. If DTC P0717 (input speed sensor) and DTC P0730 are both present, diagnose P0717 first.
