6	INSPECT HARNESS FOR OPEN CIRCUIT Inspect for continuity between input/turbine speed sensor terminals (harness-side) and TCM connector. A and W B and Z Is there continuity?	Yes	Go to next step.
6		No	Repair or replace harness, then go to Step 8.
7	INSPECT HARNESS FOR SHORT TO GROUND Inspect for continuity between input/turbine speed sensor connector terminal and body ground. A and body ground B and body ground Is there continuity?	Yes	Go to next step.
7		No	Repair or replace harness, then go to next step.
8	VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0715 COMPLETED Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. Clear DTC from memory using WDS or equivalent.
