NOTE: Code P0715115) on the PCMdoesn't always mean there's an electricalproblem in the mainshaft or counlersharlspeed sensor circuit; code P0715(15) mayalso indicate a mechanical problem in thetransmission. Check the freeze data witha Honda PGM Tester. lf the mainshaftspeed sensor rpm was 0, proceed withthis troubleshooting. lf not, the probablecause is a mechanical problom within thetransmission,

NOTE: Codo P0715 (15) on the PCM doesn't always moan there's an electricalproblem in the mainshaft or countershaft speed sensor circuit; code P07'15 (15)may also indicate a mechanical problem in the transmission. Any problem caus-ing irregular countershaft to mainshaft spoed difference can cause this codo; thiscan sometimes be seen in A'/T Free2e Data. Freeze Data can also indicate an elec-trical problem in the sensor circuits ;f one of the sensors reads 0 mph during atest dnve.
