P0697 (A/T)

DTC P0697  : Sensor Reference Voltage 3 Circuit Malfunction

NOTE:  Before you troubleshoot, review the General Troubleshooting Information .

DTC (A/T)

1. Problem verification

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   -2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

   -3. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   -5. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

   Is DTC P0697 indicated?

   YES 

   The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

   NO 

   Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections and loose terminals at the TCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

2. Determine possible failure area (countershaft speed sensor, others)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Disconnect the following connector.

   Countershaft speed sensor 3P connector

   -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   -4. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

   -5. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

   Is DTC P0697 indicated?

   YES 

   Go to step 3.

   NO 

   Replace the countershaft speed sensor .

3. Shorted wire check (VCC3 line to ground)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Disconnect the following connector.

   TCM connector A (23P)

   -3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	Countershaft speed sensor 3P connector: disconnected
   	TCM connector A (23P): disconnected
   Test point 1	Countershaft speed sensor 3P connector (female terminals) No. 1:
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Repair a short to ground in the VCC3 wire between the countershaft speed sensor and the TCM.

   NO 

   The VCC3 wire is not shorted to ground. Go to step 4.

4. Shorted wire check (VCC3 line to power)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   -2. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle ON mode
   	Countershaft speed sensor 3P connector: disconnected
   	TCM connector A (23P): disconnected
   Test point 1	Countershaft speed sensor 3P connector (female terminals) No. 1:
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there 7.2 V or more?

   YES 

   Repair a short to power in the VCC3 wire between the countershaft speed sensor and the TCM.

   NO 

   The VCC3 wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good TCM , then recheck. If this DTC goes away and the TCM was substituted, replace the original TCM .
