This sensor detects the rotation speed of the turbine which shows the input turbine speed of the transmission. By comparing the input turbine speed signal (NT) with the output shaft speed sensor signal (SP2), the ECM detects the shift timing of the gears and appropriately controls the engine torque and hydraulic pressure according to various conditions. As a result, the gears shift smoothly.

The transmission revolution sensor (NT) detects the transmission input shaft speed. The ECM calculates gear shifts comparing the transmission revolution sensor (NT) with the transmission revolution sensor (SP2).
While the vehicle is operating in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear with the shift lever in D, if the input shaft speed is less than 300 rpm*1 and the output shaft speed is more than 1000 rpm*2, the ECM interprets this as a fault, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
*1: Pulse is not output or is irregularly output.
*2: The vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or more.
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
After repairs have been completed, clear the DTCs and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Start the engine.
Perform the D Position Shift Test in Road Test and drive the vehicle for 5 seconds or more at 50 km/h (31 mph) or more.
Stop the vehicle.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P071512, P071514 or P071531.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL | ·
DTC judgment completed ·
System normal |
| ABNORMAL | ·
DTC judgment completed ·
System abnormal |
| INCOMPLETE | ·
DTC judgment not completed ·
Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions |
| N/A | ·
Unable to perform DTC judgment ·
Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit |
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the Confirmation Driving Pattern and check the DTC judgment result again.
Perform registration and/or initialization when parts related to the automatic transmission are replaced.
DATA LIST
Using the GTS to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.
In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.
Warm up the engine.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Data List / NT Sensor Speed.
Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.
| Tester Display | Measurement Item | Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NT Sensor Speed | Input turbine speed | Min.: 0 rpm
Max.: 12750 rpm |
·
Lock-up on (after warming up the engine): Value from transmission revolution sensor (NT) equal to engine speed ·
Lock-up off (idling with shift lever in N): Value from transmission revolution sensor (NT) nearly equal to engine speed |
Data is displayed in increments of 50 rpm. |
| Tester Display |

| NT Sensor Speed |
NT Sensor Speed is always 0 while driving: Open or short in the sensor or circuit.
NT Sensor Speed is always more than 0 and less than 300 rpm while driving the vehicle at 50 km/h (31 mph) or more: Sensor malfunction, improper installation or intermittent connection malfunction in the circuit.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Data List / NT Sensor Speed, NT Sensor Voltage.
