DTC P0721: Problem in Output Shaft (Countershaft) Speed Sensor CircuitDTC P0722: Problem in Output Shaft (Countershaft) Speed Sensor Circuit (No Signal Input)
NOTE:
^ Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot with the HDS, and review General Troubleshooting Information.
^ This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
3. Check for proper output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor installation.
4. Raise the front of the vehicle, make sure it is securely supported, and allow the front wheels to rotate freely. Or raise the vehicle on a lift.
5. Test-drive the vehicle with the shift lever in D and the engine speed 2,000 rpm or higher, for at least 10 seconds. Slow down and stop the wheels.
6. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0721 or P0722 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the HDS indicate FAILED?
YES - Go to step 7.
NO - If the HDS indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals between the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor and the PCM. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 5.
7. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
8. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
9. Disconnect PCM connector C (44P).

Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 11.
NO - Repair open in the wires between PCM connector terminals C40, C44, and ground (G 101), or repair a poor ground (G 101), then go to step 32.
11. Connect PCM connector C (44P).
12. Disconnect the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector.
13. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
14. Measure the voltage between output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.
Is there about 5 V?
YES - Go to step 18.
NO - Go to step 15.
15. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
16. Disconnect PCM connector C (44P).
17. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal C13 and output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 1.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 18.
NO - Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal C13 and the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor, then go to step 32.
18. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
19. Disconnect PCM connector C (44P).
20. Check for continuity between output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short to body ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal C43 and the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor, then go to step 32.
NO - Go to step 21.
21. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal C14 and output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 3.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 22.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector and PCM connector terminal C14, then go to step 32.
22. Connect PCM connector C (44P).
23. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
24. Measure the voltage between output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector terminals No. 2 and No. 3.
Is there about 5 V?
YES - Go to step 28.
NO - Go to step 25.
25. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
26. Disconnect PCM connector C (44P).
27. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal C43 and output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector terminal No. 2.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 38.
NO - Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal C43 and the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor, then go to step 32.
28. Connect the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor connector.
29. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
30. Test-drive the vehicle with the shift lever in D and the engine speed 2,000 rpm or higher, for at least 10 seconds. Slow down and stop the wheels.
31. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0721 or P0722 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the HDS indicate FAILED?
YES - Replace the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor, then go to step 32.
NO - Go to step 38.
32. Reconnect all connectors.
33. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
34. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
35. Test-drive the vehicle with the shift lever in D at speeds over 12 mph (20 km/h), for at least 10 seconds. Slow down and stop the wheels.
36. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0721 or P0722 indicated?
YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals between the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor and the PCM, then go to step 1.
NO - Go to step 37.
37. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0721 or P0722 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the HDS indicate PASSED?
YES - Troubleshooting is complete. If any other DTCs were indicated in step 36, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO - If the HDS indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals between the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor and the PCM, then go to step 1. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 35.
38. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known good PCM.
39. Test-drive the vehicle with the shift lever in D at speeds over 12 mph (20 km/h), for at least 10 seconds. Slow down and stop the wheels.
40. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0721 or P0722 indicated?
YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals between the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM, then go to step 39. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1
NO - Go to step 41.
41. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0721 or P0722 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the HDS indicate PASSED?.
YES - If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM. If any other DTCs were indicated in step 40, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO - If the HDS indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals between the output shaft (countershaft) speed sensor and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known good PCM, then go to step 39. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 39.
