DTC P0722
Circuit Description
The automatic transmission output speed sensor (AT OSS) assembly provides vehicle speed
information to the transmission control module (TCM). The OSS sensor assembly is a hall-effect
sensor. The sensor is mounted in the transmission case facing the parking lock gear which is
splined to the output shaft assembly. As the output shaft and parking lock gear rotate, the toothed
parking lock gear produces a square wave voltage signal as the teeth pass through the magnetic
field of the sensor. The number of pulses increases as the speed of the vehicle increases. The TCM
converts the voltage to vehicle speed. The TCM uses the output shaft speed signal to determine
shift timing and torque converter clutch (TCC) scheduling.
If the TCM detects no vehicle speed when there is engine speed in a drive gear range, then
DTC P0722 sets. DTC P0722 is a type A DTC.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0722 Output Speed Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
Conditions for Running the DTC
Fail Case 1
• No TR Switch DTC P0705.

• No transmission fluid temperature (TFT) DTCs P0711, P0712, or P0713.
• No ISS DTC P0717.
• The ignition voltage is 10.5-18 volts.
• Vehicle speed is 66 km/h (41 mph).
• Trans. Protection Mode is OFF.
• The calculated AT OSS is 1,000 RPM or greater.
• The transmission is not shifting.
• If the transmission temperature is greater than 20°C (68°F), the TR Switch has been DRIVE
for 2.5 seconds or greater.
• If the transmission temperature is 0-20°C (32-68°F), the TR Switch has been DRIVE for
10 seconds or greater.
• If the transmission temperature is less than 0°C (32°F), the TR Switch has been DRIVE for
3 minutes or greater.
Fail Case 2
• The ignition voltage is 10.5-18 volts.

• Trans. Protection Mode is OFF.

• The engine is running.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Fail Case 1
The TCM does not detect any pulses from the OSS and there are 6,000 pulses from the ISS.
Fail Case 2
The OSS signal circuit is open or shorted for 30 seconds or greater.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The TCM requests the powertrain control module (PCM) to illuminate the malfunction
indicator lamp (MIL).
• The TCM turns the Trans. Protection Mode ON.
• The transmission will operate in 5th gear when the transmission is shifted into D or I range
and 2nd gear when shifted into L range.
• The line pressure is at maximum.
• The torque converter clutch (TCC) is disabled.
• The TCM freezes the transmission adaptive functions.
• The TCM calculates the output speed based on the input speed.
• The PCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.
The PCM stores this information as Freeze Frame and Failure Records.
• The TCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.
The TCM stores this information as a Failure Record.
• The TCM stores DTC P0722 in TCM history.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
• The PCM turns OFF the MIL after the third consecutive drive trip in which the TCM does not
send a MIL illumination request.
• A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC.
• The TCM clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without
an emission-related diagnostic fault occurring.
• The TCM cancels the DTC default actions when the ignition is OFF long enough in order to
power down the TCM.

Go to Step 2 Vehicle
Notice: In order to avoid damage to the drive
axles, support the lower control arms in the
normal horizontal position. Do not run the

vehicle in gear with the wheels hanging down
at full travel.
1. Install a scan tool.

2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine
OFF.
Important:
• Before clearing the DTC, use the
scan tool in order to record the PCM
Freeze Frame and the TCM Failure
Records. Using the Clear
Eng./Trans. DTC Info function
erases the Freeze Frame and
Failure Records from the powertrain
control module (PCM) and the
transmission control module (TCM).
2 • Using the Clear Eng./Trans. DTC 100 RPM
Info function erases stored DTCs in
both the PCM and TCM.
3. Record the DTC Freeze Frame and

Failure Records.
4. Clear the DTC.
5. Raise the drive wheels.
6. Support the lower control arms so that
the drive axles are in a horizontal,
straight, position.
7. Start the engine.
8. Shift the transmission into D5.
