PTA 000161.11 – Sensor for Transmission Input Speed, Speed Does Not Match Engine Speed
PTA 000161.11 (PTA 161.11)
Code: 000161.11
Shortcode: 161.11
Description:
This diagnostic trouble code is generated when the PTA control software detects a mismatch between the engine speed received via the CAN BUS and the speed of the transmission input speed sensor. This discrepancy indicates a potential issue with the sensor or the engine speed signal.
Reaction:
Limited or no function of the transmission until the error is corrected, indicating a critical issue with speed synchronization.
Recommendations:
Verify Engine Speed Signal:
- Check the CAN BUS for accurate transmission of the engine speed signal.
- Ensure there are no faults or interruptions in the CAN BUS communication.
Inspect Input Speed Sensor:
- Verify that the transmission input speed sensor is functioning correctly.
- Replace the sensor if it is found to be faulty.
Check Wiring and Connectors:
- Inspect the wiring and connectors associated with the input speed sensor and CAN BUS for signs of damage or disconnection.
- Repair or replace any damaged components.
Ensure Software Consistency:
- Make sure the control software is up to date and free of bugs.
- Update the software if a newer version is available.
Note:
Accurate synchronization between engine speed and transmission input speed is essential for proper vehicle operation. Regular monitoring and maintenance of sensors and communication lines are crucial.
