2003 LEXUS LS430 sensor

HINT:
According to the DATA LIST displayed by the hand-held tester, you can read the value of the switch, sensor,
actuator and so on without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as the first step of troubleshooting is one
method to shorten labor time.
a. Warm up the engine.
b. Turn the ignition switch off.
c. Connect the hand-held tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle interface
module) to the DLC3.
d. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
e. Push the "ON" button of the hand-held tester.
f. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/DATA LIST".
g. According to the display on tester, read the "DATA LIST".

DTC P0713 is output and hand-held tester output is -40°C (-40°F), there is an open circuit. Measure the
resistance between terminal OIL (OT) and body ground.
CHECKING CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION TABLE
HINT:
If a circuit related to the ATF temperature sensor becomes open, P0713 is immediately set (in 0.5 second).
When P0713 is set, P0711 cannot be detected.

It is not necessary to inspect the circuit when P0711 is set.
1.CHECK OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0711)
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and push the hand-held tester main switch ON.
c. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/DTC INFO/CURRENT CODES".
d. Read the DTCs using the hand-held tester.

OK:
Automatic transmission fluid level is correct.

DTC P0717: TURBINE SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT NO SIGNAL
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the rotation speed of the turbine which shows the input revolution of transmission. By
comparing the input turbine speed signal (NT) with the counter gear 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. Thus, providin
g smooth gear shift.

Reference (Using an oscilloscope):
Check the waveform between the terminals NT+ and NT- of the ECM connector.
Standard: Refer to the illustration.

WAVEFORM REFERENCE TABLE
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that pulse is not output from the speed sensor NT (Turbine (input) speed sensor) or is output
only little. The NT terminal of the ECM detects the revolving signal from speed sensor (NT) (input RPM). The
ECM outputs a gearshift signal comparing the input speed sensor (NT) with the output speed sensor (SP2).
While the vehicle is operating in the 4th, 5th or 6th gear position in the shift position of D, if the input shaft
revolution is less than 300 rpm*1 although the output shaft revolution is more than 300 rpm or more*2, the
ECM detects the trouble, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
*1: Pulse is not output or is irregularly output
*2: The vehicle speed is approx. 50 km/h (31 mph) or more.

HINT:

SPD (NT) is always 0 while driving:
Open or short in the sensor or circuit.
SPD (NT) is always more than 0 and less than 300 rpm while driving the vehicle at 50 km/h (31 mph) or
more:
Sensor trouble, improper installation, or intermittent connection trouble of the circuit.
1.INSPECT SPEED SENSOR INSTALLATION
a. Check the speed sensor (NT) installation.
OK:
The installation bolt is tightened properly and there is no clearance between the sensor and
transmission case.
