P0715: Input / turbine speed sensor circuit

The transmission controller cannot trust the input or turbine speed signal.

Common symptoms

  • Harsh shifts
  • Limp mode
  • Delayed engagement
  • Incorrect gear display

Likely causes

  • Failed speed sensor
  • Mechatronics wiring issue
  • Fluid contamination affecting sensor signal
  • Internal transmission fault

First checks

  • Scan transmission live speed data
  • Check wiring and connector condition
  • Review fluid service history and related gearbox faults

Important

Speed-sensor faults can mimic internal gearbox problems, so read transmission data before approving major repairs.

A fault code identifies a detected condition, not a failed part. Confirm manufacturer-specific subcodes and live data.
