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.
