Code No. P0715:
Malfunction of Primary Pulley Speed Sensor
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The CVT-ECU determines whether the system is defective by monitoring the primary pulley
speed sensor.
JUDGEMENT CRITERIA
- The status with the secondary pulley speed of 500 r/min or more
and with the primary pulley speed of 150 r/min or less continues for 5 seconds.
- 0.5 seconds after the primary pulley speed has dropped abruptly from 1,000 r/min
or more to 200 r/min or less
- Primary pulley speed is found abnormal by comparing the engine speed and the turbine speed.
PROBABLE CAUSES
- Malfunction of primary pulley speed sensor
- Damaged wiring harness and connectors
- Malfunction of CVT-ECU
|
STEP 1. Check for open circuit in earth line between the primary
pulley speed sensor connector (terminal No. 3) and the body earth
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 2
|
|
|
|
Repair the connector(s) or the wiring harness.
|
|
|
|
STEP 2. Voltage measurement at primary pulley speed sensor connector
(terminal No. 1)
|
|
(1)Disconnect the primary 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 primary pulley speed sensor connector (terminal
No. 1) and body earth. OK: 10 V or more
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 3
|
|
|
|
NO : Repair the connector(s) or the wiring harness (power supply line between the primary
pulley speed sensor connector terminal No. 1 and the CVT control relay connector).
|
|
|
|
STEP 3. Check for open circuit or short to earth in PRMS line between
the primary pulley speed sensor connector and the CVT-ECU connector
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 4
|
|
|
|
Repair the connector(s) or the wiring harness.
|
|
|
|
STEP 4. Measure the output wave pattern of the primary pulley speed
sensor at CVT-ECU connector (PRMS terminal).
|
|
(1)Connect the primary pulley speed sensor connector and CVT-ECU connector.
|
|
(2)Selector lever position: Sport mode (1st gear).
|
|
(3)Drive at a constant speed of approx. 20 km/h.
|
|
(4)Connect an oscilloscope, and measure the voltage between CVT-ECU connector PRMS
terminal and body earth. OK: A wave pattern such as the one shown on (Check
Procedure Using an Oscilloscope) should be output. There should be no noise in the output wave
pattern.
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 5
|
|
|
|
Visually check the tip of the primary pulley speed sensor for deposits or damage,
and repair or replace it if necessary.
|
|
|
|
STEP 5. Symptom recheck after erasing diagnosis code
|
|
Q.
Is the diagnosis code set?
|
|
Replace the CVT-ECU.
|
|
|
|
Intermittent malfunction.
