7A1–52 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30–E)

DTC P0723 Transmission Output Speed Sensor (OSS) Intermittent

D07RW022

Circuit Description

Output speed information is provided to the PCM by the
OSS, which is a permanent magnet (PM) generator.  The
PM generator produces a pulsing AC voltage.  The AC
voltage level and number of pulses increases as the
speed of the vehicle increases.  The PCM then converts
the pulsing voltage to output speed, which is used for
calculations.  The vehicle speed can be displayed with a
scan tool.
This DTC detects a low output speed when there is a high
engine speed in a drive gear range.  This is a type “B”
DTC.

Conditions For Setting The DTC

In Park or Neutral:

f

Transmission output speed change is greater than
10000 rpm.

f

Conditions met for 6 seconds.

f

Engine running time is greater than 2 seconds.

Not in Park or Neutral:

f

Transmission output speed change is greater than
512 rpm.

f

Conditions met for 0.075 seconds

f

Engine running time is greater than 2 seconds.

f

Engine vacuum is less than 70 kPa. 

f

Output speed is greater than 1380 rpm for 1 second.

f

NORAW–NOLAST < 60 rpm for 6 seconds.

f

NORAW: Latest raw data of output shaft speed.

f

NOLAST: Fitered previous data of output speed.

Action Taken When The DTC Sets

f

Fixed to 4th gear.

f

Maximum line pressure.

f

Inhibit TCC engagement.

f

The PCM will illuminate the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) and CHECK TRANS Lamp.

Conditions For Clearing The MIL/DTC

f

The PCM will turn off the MIL and CHECK TRANS
Lamp after three consecutive ignition cycles without a
failure reported.

f

The DTC can be cleared from the PCM history by
using a scan tool.

f

The DTC will be cleared from history when the vehicle
has achieved 40 warmup cycles without a failure
reported.

f

The PCM will cancel the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition is cycled “off”
long enough to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids

f

A OSS DTC P0723 will set when output speed has
been detected and is lost.

f

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connection at the
PCM.  Look for possible bent, backed out, deformed
or damaged terminals.  Check for weak terminal
tension as well.  Also check for a chafed wire that
could short to bare metal or other wiring.  Inspect for a
broken wire inside the insulation.

f

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic chart:
5. This test checks the OSS circuit.
6. This test checks the integrity of the OSS.
8. This test checks the 5–volt and ground circuit of the

PCM.

1. Install the scan tool.
2. With the engine “off”, turn the ignition switch “on”.

NOTE: Before clearing DTC(s), use the scan tool to record “Freeze
Frame” and “Failure Records” for reference, as data will be lost
when the “Clear Info” function is used.

3. Record the DTC “Freeze Frame” and “Failure Records”.
4. Raise the drive wheels.
5. Start the engine.
6. Place the transmission in any drive range.

With the drive wheels rotating, does the “Trans Output Speed”
increase with the drive wheel speed?
