speed sensor, then go to step 23. 

23. Reconnect all connectors.  

24. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).  

25. Clear the DTC with the HDS.  

26. Test-drive the vehicle at speeds over 12 mph (20 km/h) in the D position through all five gears.  

27. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and repeat the test-drive in step 26.  

28. Check for DTCs with the HDS. 

Is DTC P0723 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 29. 

29. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0723 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. 

Does the screen indicate PASSED?  

YES -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other DTCs were indicated in step 28, go to the indicated 
DTC's troubleshooting. 

NO -If the screen 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 screen indicates NOT 
COMPLETED, go to step 26. 

30. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE PCM ), or substitute a 

known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE PCM ).  

31. Test-drive the vehicle at speeds over 12 mph (20 km/h) in the D position through all five gears.  

32. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and repeat the test-drive in step 31.  

33. Check for DTCs with the HDS. 

Is DTC P0723 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 (see SUBSTITUTING THE 
PCM
 ), then go to step 31. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1. 

NO -Go to step 34. 

34. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0723 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. 

Does the screen indicate PASSED?

YES -If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the 
original PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). If any other DTCs were indicated in step 33, go to 
the indicated DTC's troubleshooting. 

NO -If the screen 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 
(see SUBSTITUTING THE PCM ), then go to step 31. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the 
screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 31.

INCORRECT GEAR RATIO) 

1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).  

2. Make sure that the transmission is filled to the proper level, and cheek for fluid leaks.  

3. Drain the ATF (see step 3 ) through a strainer. Inspect the strainer for metal debris or excessive clutch 

material. 

Does the strainer have metal debris or excessive clutch material?  

YES -Replace the transmission, then go to step 13. 

NO -Replace the ATF (see step 5 ), then go to step 4. 

4. Measure the line pressure (see PRESSURE TEST ). 

Is the line pressure within service limits?  

YES -Go to step 5. 

NO -Repair the ATF pump and the regulator valve, or replace the transmission, then go to step 13. 

5. Measure the 1st clutch pressure (see PRESSURE TEST ). 

Is the 1st clutch pressure within service limits?  

YES -Go to step 6. 

NO -Shift valves B and C are stuck. Repair these valves and the hydraulic circuit, or replace the 
transmission, then go to step 13. 

6. Test stall speed in the 1 position (see STALL SPEED TEST ). 

NOTE:

Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and 
review General Troubleshooting Information (see GENERAL 
TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).
