Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is a permanent magnet generator attached to the transmission case. The final drive assembly has a toothed wheel, VSS rotor. As the final drive assembly rotates, an AC voltage is induced and transmitted to the transmission control module (TCM). The TCM converts the AC voltage into a digital signal. The TCM uses the vehicle speed to determine shift timing, torque converter clutch apply and release, and gear ratio.

If the TCM detects a low vehicle speed and a high transmission input shaft speed while in a drive range, then DTC P0722 sets. DTC P0722 is a type B DTC.
