Opel Frontera UBS. Manual - part 2618

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30–E)

7A1–47

Conditions For Clearing The DTC

A scan tool can clear the DTC from the PCM history.
The PCM clears the DTC from the PCM history if the
vehicle completes 40 warm–up cycles without a
failure reported.

The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the
fault no longer exists and the ignition is OFF long
enough in order to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at
the PCM and brake switch. Look for possible bent,
backed out, deformed or damaged terminals. Check
for weak terminal tension as well. Also check for a
chafed wire that could short to bare metal or other
wiring. Inspect for a broken wire inside the insulation.

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.

Check customer driving habits and/or unusual driving
conditions (i.e. stop and go, highway).

Check brake switch for proper mounting and
adjustment.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic chart.
3. This step isolates the brake switch as a source for

setting the DTC.

Check

1. Install the scan tool.
2. With the engine “off,” turn the ignition switch to the “on”

position.

NOTE: Before clearing the DTC(s), use the scan tool in order to
record the “Failure Records” for reference. Using the “Clear Info”
function will erase the stored “Failure Records” from the PCM.

3. Record the “DTC Failure Records”, then clear the DTC(s).
4. Select “TCC Brake Switch” on the scan tool.
5. Disconnect the brake switch connector from the brake switch.
6. Connect a test lamp from cavity B13–2 of the brake switch

connector to a known good ground.

Is the test lamp ON?

Go to Step 3

Go to Step 4

In order to verify your repair, perform the following procedure:
1. Select DTC.
2. Select Clear Info.
3. With the engine “off,” turn the ignition switch to the “on”

position.

4. Do not depress the brake pedal.
5. Verify that the TCC Brake Switch status indicates “Closed” (12

volts) for 2 seconds.

6. Select Specific DTC. Enter DTC P0719.

Has the test run and passed?

System OK

DTC P0722 Automatic Transmission Output Speed Sensor (OSS) Low Input

LHD

D07R200049

RHD

D07R200050

Circuit Description

Output speed information is provided to the PCM by the
OSS, which is a permanent magnet (PM) generator. The
PM generator produces a pulsing AC voltage. The AC
voltage level and number of pulses increases as the
speed of the vehicle increases. The PCM then converts
the pulsing voltage to output speed, which is used for
calculations. The vehicle speed can be displayed with a
scan tool.
This DTC detects a low output speed when there is a high
engine speed in a drive gear range. This is a type “B”
DTC.

Conditions For Setting The DTC

No MAP DTCs P0107 or P0108, P0106, P1106,
P1107.

No TPS DTCs P0122 or P0123.

Not in Park or Neutral.

TP angle is greater than 10%.

Engine vacuum is between 0 and 70kPa.

Engine speed is between 3,000 and 7,000 rpm.

Transmission output speed is less than 0 rpm.

All conditions met for 5 seconds.

Action Taken When The DTC Sets

Fixed to 4th gear.

Maximum line pressure.

Inhibit TCC engagement.

For lamp illuminate refer to DTC type definition (type
B).

Conditions For Clearing The MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn off the MIL and CHECK TRANS
Lamp after three consecutive ignition cycles without a
failure reported.

The DTC can be cleared from the PCM history by
using a scan tool. The DTC will be cleared from
history when the vehicle has achieved 40 warmup
cycles without a failure reported.

The PCM will cancel the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition is cycled “off”
long enough to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids

An OSS DTC P0722 will set when no output speed is
at detected at start off.

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connection at the
PCM. Look for possible bent, backed out, deformed
or damaged terminals. Check for weak terminal
tension as well. Also check for a chafed wire that
could short to bare metal or other wiring. Inspect for a
broken wire inside the insulation.

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic chart:
4. This test checks the OSS circuit.
5. This test checks the integrity of the OSS.
7. This test checks the 5–volt and ground circuit of the

PCM.

1. Install the scan tool.
2. With the engine “off”, turn the ignition switch “on”.

NOTE: Before clearing DTC(s), use the scan tool to record “Freeze
Frame” and “Failure Records” for reference, as data will be lost
when the “Clear Info” function is used.

3. Record the DTC “Freeze Frame” and “Failure Records”.
4. Raise the drive wheels.
5. Start the engine.
6. Place the transmission in any drive range.

With the drive wheels rotating, does the “Trans Output Speed”
increase with the drive wheel speed?
