TCU 000191.04 – B63 Sensor for Transmission Output Speed, Voltage at Channel 1 Too Low
TCU 000191.04 (TCU 191.04)
Code: 000191.04
Shortcode: 191.04
Description:
This diagnostic trouble code (TCU 000191.04) is generated if the control unit detects that the voltage at the signal input from channel 1 of the transmission output speed sensor (B63, lead 6081) is too low. This typically indicates a short to ground within the sensor circuit.
Reaction:
When this error code is detected, the equipment may not accurately read the transmission output speed, potentially leading to performance issues or protective mode activation.
Recommendations:
1. Inspect Sensor Circuit:
- Check for Short to Ground: Inspect the wiring and connectors for any signs of shorting to ground.
- Ensure Secure Connections: Make sure all connections are secure and free of corrosion.
2. Test the Sensor:
- Measure Voltage: Use a multimeter to measure the voltage at channel 1 of the sensor input.
- Replace if Faulty: Replace the sensor if it is providing low voltage readings.
3. Examine Wiring and Connectors:
- Inspect for Damage: Check the wiring and connectors for any damage, wear, or disconnection.
- Repair or Replace: Repair or replace any damaged components.
4. Verify Control Unit Functionality:
- Test Control Unit: Ensure that the TCU control unit is correctly processing the sensor signals.
- Update Software: Update the control unit software if needed.
Note:
Maintaining the transmission output speed sensor and its associated circuitry is crucial for accurate performance. Regular inspections and prompt repairs can help prevent issues related to low voltage readings.
