DTC P1706 AT VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION (REAR WHEEL)

DTC P1706 AT VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION (REAR WHEEL)

DIAGNOSIS:

The input signal circuit of TCM is open or shorted.

TROUBLE SYMPTOM:

No lock-up or excessive tight corner “braking”.

WIRING DIAGRAM:


CHECK IGNITION POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT.

Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

Disconnect the connector from rear vehicle speed sensor.

Turn the ignition switch to ON.

Measure the ignition power supply between rear vehicle speed sensor connector and transmission ground.

Connector & terminal

(AT10) No. 3 (+) — Transmission ground (−):

Is the voltage more than 10 V?

Yes


No

Check harness between rear vehicle speed sensor and battery for open circuit, short or poor contact. Repair the harness if required.


CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION.

Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

Measure the resistance of harness between TCM and transmission connector.

Connector & terminal

(B55) No. 23 — (AT10) No. 1:

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Yes


No

Repair the open circuit or poor contact of connector in harness between TCM and rear vehicle speed sensor connector.


CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION.

Measure the resistance of harness between TCM and transmission connector.

Connector & terminal

(B54) No. 24 — (AT10) No. 2:

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Yes


No

Repair the open circuit or poor contact of connector in harness between TCM and rear vehicle speed sensor connector.


CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION.

Measure the resistance of harness between TCM and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B55) No. 23 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ?

Yes


No

Repair the short circuit in harness between TCM and rear vehicle speed sensor connector.


CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION.

Measure the resistance of harness between TCM and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B55) No. 24 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ?

Yes


No

Repair the short circuit in harness between TCM and rear vehicle speed sensor connector.


PREPARE OSCILLOSCOPE.

Do you have an oscilloscope?

Yes


No


CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM.

Connect the connectors to TCM and transmission.

Lift-up the vehicle and place rigid racks.

Note

Raise all wheels off ground.


Start the engine and set vehicle in 20 km/h (12 MPH) condition.

Note

The speed difference between front and rear wheels may light the ABS warning light, but this indicates no malfunction. When AT control diagnosis is finished, perform the ABS memory clearance procedure of on-board diagnostics system.


Measure the AC voltage between TCM connector terminals.

Connector & terminal

(B55) No. 24 (+) — No. 23 (−):

Is the voltage more than 2 V?

Yes


No

Replace the rear vehicle speed sensor.


CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM USING OSCILLOSCOPE.

Connect the connectors to TCM and transmission.

Lift-up the vehicle and place rigid racks.

Note

Raise all wheels off ground.


Set the oscilloscope to TCM connector terminals.

Connector & terminal

Positive probe; (B55) No. 24:

Earth lead; (B55) No. 23:

Start the engine and set vehicle in 20 km/h (12 MPH) condition.

Note

The speed difference between front and rear wheels may light the ABS warning light, but this indicates no malfunction. When AT control diagnosis is finished, perform the ABS memory clearance procedure of on-board diagnostics system.


Measure the signal voltage indicated on oscilloscope.

Is the pulse voltage approx. 5 V?

Yes


No

Replace the rear vehicle speed sensor.


CHECK POOR CONTACT.

Is there poor contact in rear vehicle speed sensor circuit?

Yes

Repair the poor contact.


No

Replace the TCM.
