DTC P0725 ENGINE SPEED SIGNAL

DTC P0725 ENGINE SPEED SIGNAL

PFP:24825

Description

NCS001LL

The engine speed signal is sent from the ECM to the TCM.

CONSULT-II Reference Value

NCS001LM

On Board Diagnosis Logic

NCS001LN

●

This is an OBD-II self-diagnostic item. (For VQ35DE engine)

●

Diagnostic trouble code “P0725 ENGINE SPEED SIG” with CONSULT-II or 16th judgement flicker without
CONSULT-II is detected when TCM does not receive the ignition signal from ECM during engine cranking
or running.

Possible Cause

NCS001LO

Harness or connectors
(ECM to TCM circuit is open or shorted.)

DTC Confirmation Procedure

NCS001LP

CAUTION:

Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.

NOTE:
If “DTC Confirmation Procedure” has been previously performed, always turn ignition switch “OFF”
and wait at least 10 seconds before performing the next test.
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.

 WITH CONSULT-II

1.

Turn ignition switch ON.

2.

Select “SELECTION FROM MENU” in “DATA MONITOR” mode
for “A/T” with CONSULT-II and check monitor “VHCL/S SE-A/T”,
“ACCELE POSI” and “SLCT LVR POSI ”.

3.

Touch “START”.

4.

Start engine and maintain the following conditions for at least 10
consecutive seconds.
VHCL/S SE-A/T: 10 km/h (6 MPH) or more
ACCELE POSI: More than 1.0/8
SLCT LVR POSI: “D” position 

5.

If DTC is detected, go to 

AT-125, "Diagnostic Procedure"

 .

 WITH GST

Follow the procedure “WITH CONSULT-II”.

Diagnostic Procedure

NCS001LQ

1. 

CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION LINE

Perform the self-diagnosis. Refer to 

AT-92, "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE"

 , 

AT-103, "Diagnostic Pro-

cedure without CONSULT-II"

 .

Is a malfunction in the CAN communication indicated in the results?

YES

>> Check CAN communication line. Refer to 

AT-105, "DTC U1000 CAN COMMUNICATION LINE"

 .

NO

>> GO TO 2.

2. 

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL

 With CONSULT-II

1.

Start engine.

2.

Select “ECU INPUT SIGNALS” in “DATA MONITOR” mode for
“A/T” with CONSULT-II.

3.

While monitoring engine speed, check for engine speed change
corresponding to wide-open throttle position signal.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 3.

NG

>> Check the ignition signal circuit. Refer to 

EC-691, "IGNITION SIGNAL"

  (for VQ35DE engine), 

EC-

1411, "IGNITION SIGNAL"

  (for VK45DE engine).

3. 

CHECK DTC

Perform “DTC Confirmation Procedure”. Refer to 

AT-124, "DTC Confirmation Procedure"

 .

OK or NG

OK

>> INSPECTION END

NG

>> GO TO 4.

4.

CUIT"

 .

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 5.

NG

>> Repair or replace damaged parts.

5. 

DETECT MALFUNCTIONING ITEM

Check the following.

●

The A/T assembly harness connector pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connec-
tor.

OK or NG

OK

>> Replace the control valve with TCM. Refer to 

AT-236, "Control Valve With TCM and A/T Fluid

Temperature Sensor 2"

DTC P0740 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID VALVE

DTC P0740 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID VALVE

PFP:31940

Description

NCS001LR

●

The torque converter clutch solenoid valve is activated, with the gear in D

3

 , D

4

 , D

5

 , M4 and M5 by the

TCM in response to signals sent from the vehicle speed sensor and accelerator pedal position sensor
(throttle position sensor). Torque converter clutch piston operation will then be controlled.

●

Lock-up operation, however, is prohibited when A/T fluid temperature is too low.

●

When the accelerator pedal is depressed (less than 1/8) in lock-up condition, the engine speed should not
change abruptly. If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock-up.

CONSULT-II Reference Value

NCS001LS

On Board Diagnosis Logic

NCS001LT

●

This is an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.

●

Diagnostic trouble code “P0740 TCC SOLENOID/CIRC” with CONSULT-II or 3rd judgement flicker with-
out CONSULT-II is detected under the following conditions.

–

When TCM detects an improper voltage drop when it tries to operate the solenoid valve.

–

When TCM detects as irregular by comparing target value with monitor value.

Possible Cause

NCS001LU

●

Torque converter clutch solenoid valve

●

Harness or connectors
(Solenoid circuit is open or shorted.)

DTC Confirmation Procedure

NCS001LV

CAUTION:

After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.

 WITH CONSULT-II

1.

Turn ignition switch ON.

2.

Select “SELECTION FROM MENU” in “DATA MONITOR” mode
for “A/T” with CONSULT-II and check monitor “VHCL/S SE-A/T”,
“ACCELE POSI” and “SLCT LVR POSI ”. .

3.

Touch “START”.

4.

Start engine and maintain the following conditions for at least 5
consecutive seconds.
VHCL/S SE-A/T: 80 km/h (50 MPH) or more
ACCELE POSI: 0.5/8 - 1.0/8
SLCT LVR POSI: “D” position 
Driving location: Driving the vehicle uphill (increased
engine load) will help maintain the driving conditions
required for this test.

5.

If DTC is detected go to 

AT-127, "Diagnostic Procedure"

 .

 WITH GST

Follow the procedure “WITH CONSULT-II”.
