DTC P0720 Output Speed Sensor Circuit
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
DTC DETECTING CONDITION:
- The vehicle speed signal is abnormal.
- The harness connector between TCM and vehicle speed sensor is shorted or open.
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
Driving performance is poor.
WIRING DIAGRAM:
RESISTANCE CHART
| Step | Check | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|
1 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION.
|
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? | Go to step 2. | Repair the open circuit of harness between TCM and transmission connector. |
| 2 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION. Measure the resistance of the harness between TCM connector and transmission connector. Connector & terminal (B54) No. 15 - (B11) No. 18: |
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? | Go to step 3. | Repair the open circuit of harness between TCM and transmission connector, and poor contact of the connector. |
| 3 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION. Measure the resistance of the harness between TCM connector and transmission connector. Connector & terminal (B54) No. 6 - Chassis ground: |
Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ? | Go to step 4. | Repair the short circuit of harness between TCM and transmission connector. |
| 4 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION. Measure the resistance of the harness between TCM connector and transmission connector. Connector & terminal (B54) No. 15 - Chassis ground: |
Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ? | Go to step 5. | Repair the short circuit of the harness between TCM and transmission connector, and poor contact of connector. |
| 5 CHECK FRONT VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR. Measure the resistance between transmission connector receptacle's terminals. Connector & terminal (T4) No. 14 - No. 18: |
Is the resistance between 450 - 650 Ω? | Go to step 6. | Replace the front vehicle speed sensor. < Ref. to FRONT VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR . > |
6 CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM USING SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.
NOTE:
The speed difference between front and rear wheels may light the ABS warning light, but this does not indicate a malfunction. When AT control diagnosis is finished, perform the ABS memory clearance procedure of on-board diagnostics system. < Ref. to
CLEAR MEMORY MODE
. >
|
Does the speedometer indication increase as the Subaru Select Monitor front wheel speed data increases? | Even if the SPORT indicator light is blinking, the circuit is in normal condition at this time. A temporary poor contact of connector or harness may be the cause. Repair the harness in of front vehicle speed sensor circuit. | Go to step 7. |
| 7 CHECK POOR CONTACT. | Is there poor contact in front vehicle speed sensor circuit? | Repair the poor contact. | Replace the TCM. < Ref. to TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) . > |
