sensor LEXUS LS430 2003 Factory Repair Manual

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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
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. Turn the ignition switch off.
b. Connect the hand-held tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle interface
module) to the DLC3.

DTC P0729: GEAR 6 INCORRECT RATIO
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses signals from the output speed sensor SP2 and input speed sensor NT to detect the actual gear
position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear). Then the ECM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in
the ECM memory to detect mechanical problems of the shift solenoid valves, valve body or automatic
transmission (clutch, brake or gear, etc.).

If any malfunction is detected, the ECM changes into the fail-safe mode to shift into the gear positions as shown
in the table below.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves "ON/OFF" and switching oil pressure to
the valves in the valve body.
The DTC indicates that the reverse sequence valve is locked in the direction the spring stretches and that
shifting to the 6th gear is impossible.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL1 circuit. The ECM commands gearshift by
turning the shift solenoid valves "ON/OFF". When there is an open or short circuit in any shift solenoid valve
circuit, the ECM detects the problem and illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. And the ECM performs the
fail-safe function and turns the other shift solenoid valves in good condition "ON/OFF". (In case of an open or
short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the circuit.)
While driving and shifting between 4th and 5th gears, if the ECM detects an open or short in the shift solenoid
valve SL1 circuit, the ECM determines there is a malfunction (see FAIL
-SAFE CHART ).
