This sensor detects the rotation speed of the transmission output shaft and sends signals to the ECM. 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.

DTC P072031 is stored when either of the above detection patterns are met.
The transmission revolution sensor (SP2) detects the transmission output shaft speed. The ECM calculates gear shifts comparing the transmission revolution sensor (NT) with the transmission revolution sensor (SP2).
If the ECM detects no signal from the transmission revolution sensor (SP2) even while the vehicle is moving, it will conclude that there is a malfunction in the transmission revolution sensor (SP2). The ECM will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
After repair has 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.
Perform the D Position Shift Test inspection in Road Test.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P072012, P072014 or P072031.
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 / Speed (SP2).
Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.
| Tester Display | Measurement Item | Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Speed (SP2) | Output shaft speed | Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph)
Max.: 255 km/h (158 mph) |
0 km/h (0 mph): Vehicle stopped (equal to vehicle speed) | - |
| Tester Display |

| Speed (SP2) |
Speed (SP2) is always 0 while driving: Open or short in the sensor or circuit.
Speed (SP2) value displayed on the GTS is much lower than the actual vehicle speed: Sensor trouble, improper installation, or intermittent connection trouble of 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 / Speed (SP2), SP2 Sensor Voltage.
Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.
