Code No. P0791: Malfunction of Secondary Pulley Speed Sensor




DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION


The CVT-ECU determines whether the system is defective by monitoring the secondary pulley speed sensor.

JUDGEMENT CRITERIA




PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Check the following connector



  • Secondary pulley speed sensor connector
Check the terminals for a contact status problem and internal short circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.
Repair the defective connector.

STEP 2. Check for open circuit in SGN2 line between the secondary pulley speed sensor connector and the CVT-ECU connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Repair the connector(s) or the wiring harness.

STEP 3. Voltage measurement at secondary pulley speed sensor connector (terminal No. 1)


(1)Disconnect the secondary pulley speed sensor connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Measure the voltage between the secondary pulley speed sensor connector (terminal No. 1) and body earth.
OK: 10 V or more

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.
NO : Repair the connector(s) or the wiring harness (power supply line between the secondary pulley speed sensor connector terminal No. 1 and the J/B connector).

STEP 4. Check the following connector



  • CVT-ECU connector
Check the terminals for a contact status problem and internal short circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.
Repair the defective connector.

STEP 5. Check for open circuit or short to earth in SECS line between the secondary pulley speed sensor connector and the CVT-ECU connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6.
Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 6. Measure the output wave pattern of the secondary pulley speed sensor at CVT-ECU connector (SECS terminal).


(1)Connect the secondary pulley speed sensor connector and CVT-ECU connector.
(2)Selector lever position: D range.
(3)Drive at a constant speed of approx. 20 km/h.
(4)Connect an oscilloscope, and measure the voltage between CVT-ECU connector SECS terminal and body earth.
OK: A wave pattern such as the one shown on (Check Procedure Using an Oscilloscope) should be output, and the maximum value should be 11 V or more and the minimum value should be 1 V or less. There should be no noise in the output wave pattern.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7.
Replace the secondary pulley speed sensor.

STEP 7. Symptom recheck after erasing diagnosis code


Q. Is the diagnosis code stored?

Replace the CVT-ECU.
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions .).
