TCU 000191.08 – B63 Sensor for Transmission Output Speed, Speed in Channel 1 Lower than in Channel 2
TCU 000191.08 (TCU 191.08)
Code: 000191.08
Shortcode: 191.08
Description:
This diagnostic trouble code (TCU 000191.08) is generated if a frequency discrepancy is detected between the two sensor output signals for transmission output speed. This indicates that the speed in channel 1 is lower than in channel 2, suggesting a potential issue with the B63 sensor or its circuitry.
Reaction:
When this error code is detected, the equipment may experience erratic transmission behavior or reduced performance due to inconsistent speed readings. The system might enter a protective mode to prevent potential damage, leading to limited operational capabilities.
Recommendations:
1. Inspect Sensor Signals:
- Verify Sensor Outputs: Compare the output signals from both channels of the B63 sensor to identify discrepancies.
- Check Sensor Alignment: Ensure the sensor is correctly aligned and installed.
2. Test the Sensor:
- Measure Frequencies: Use diagnostic tools to measure the frequencies of both channels.
- Replace if Faulty: Replace the sensor if it is providing inconsistent readings.
3. Examine Wiring and Connectors:
- Inspect Wiring: Check all wiring and connectors associated with the sensor for damage or disconnection.
- Repair or Replace: Repair or replace any faulty wiring or connectors.
4. Verify Control Unit Functionality:
- Test Control Unit: Ensure that the TCU control unit is correctly processing signals from both sensor channels.
- Update Software: Update the control unit software if necessary.
Note:
Maintaining the transmission output speed sensor and its associated circuitry is essential for accurate performance. Regular inspections and prompt repairs can help prevent issues related to frequency discrepancies.
