Code
No.23: Output shaft speed sensor system
OPERATION
The output shaft speed sensor detects the speed of
the transfer drive gear, and sends
the information to the engine-A/T-ECU as a pulse signal.
DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
If the output pulse from the
output shaft speed sensor has been lost for one second or
more while the vehicle is being driven, it is judged that there is an
open circuit or short
circuit in the output shaft speed sensor, and diagnosis code 23 is
set.
If the code No.23 is set four times, the transmission will be
fixed in 3rd gear as a fail-safe
measure. However, the transmission can be downshifted to 2nd gear by
operating the selector
lever.
PROBABLE CAUSES
- Malfunction of output shaft speed sensor
- Malfunction of transfer drive gear or driven gear
- Damaged harness wires and connectors
- Malfunction of the engine-A/T-ECU
