P0717 Nissan Description The turbine revolution sensor detects forward clutch drum rpm revolutions per minute. This would require undoing engine and transmission mounts and possibly radiator connections, but seems maybe to be easier than pulling the tranny off the engine. Does anyone have: 1 pictures of this sensor location on the transmission 2 instructions on how to drop the transmission which is supposedly required to get to the sensor. With the two sensors, input and output rpms are accurately detected. . Most cost effective method to fix Turbine revolution sensor without dropping the tranny; locate the approximate area from underneath and cut an access port from the top to pull the sensor up through the floor next to the gas pedal.
This has affected the Transmission as the car wouldn't enter some gears. When I am done installing the new Turbine sensor I will either pop-rivet, or self tapping screw a sheet of metal down with rtv to seal. The next day I took my car to a transmission repair shop where I was told it was not the speed sensor, but the radiator had leaked coolant into the transmission. I then took it to an auto parts store to see what code was causing the check engine light to come on, I was told it was the transmission speed sensor. The computer wants to know if the transmission is working properly. Need a little professional insight in this so i would know when my mechanic is going astray. While attempting to shift gears, the contact heard a rattling noise on the front passenger side and the check engine indicator illuminated.
That should get you started! It should not take someone being seriously injured or killed before they take action. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000. Since finding out this problem I have been researching and have found I am not alone in this fight against Nissan. So it reads the speed of the input shaft and compares it to the speed of the output shaft. Tell me, does your transmission leak transmission fluid? I looked at what it would take to pull the transmission and the one thing that looks like not too much fun is disconnecting the torque converter from the drive plate. The transmission turbine speed sensor has started to leak through the wiring, down the harness, and then drips out below the front of the passenger seat. It is located on the input side of the automatic transaxle.
The last diagram on that page shows the connector to the Turbine revolution sensor, after the pan has been pulled. The vehicle was not repaired. Unfortunately, my 2wd 2000 Frontier just started accumulating transmission on the passenger floor mat and the surrounding area. That should get you started! The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission sensor failed. Thanks in advance for your input. My car is not paid for and I can't afford to get it repaired. I was then told this was very common in the Pathfinder and Nissan would not help with repair cost.
Thanks Thanks for the picture: it shows the basic problem which is a sensor that needs to insert directly downward from the top of the transmission at the intersection of transmission with bell housing. From my perspective, I would much rather do this than drop the transmission. The failure mileage was 129,000. What could be the possible cause and what is the possible solution. The dealer was not contacted. All: This is for a 2001 pathfinder with 160k on it. I saw a post somewhere where someone claimed to have lowered the engine to create the six inches or so of clearance to replace the sensor.
The last diagram on that page shows the connector to the Turbine revolution sensor, after the pan has been pulled. I chose the procedure because there is no way in hell im paying nissan to plug in a simple and over priced sensor due to this bad design. Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated! Auto Transmission gurus in the house i need your help on this. I would take this one step further and suggest that maybe you could lower the transmission and engine as a unit by the six inches or so that is neccessary and then replace the sensor. While driving approximately 30 mph, the contact heard a popping noise coming from the transmission and the check engine light illuminated. I have already done this procedure, and I will be installing the new sensor as soon as the part is in. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the warranty had expired.
The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. I can't seem to find the part number for both of those. Did you drop your transmission? The revolution sensor is located on the output side of the automatic transaxle. The result is optimal shift timing during deceleration and improved shifting. I need to get this fixed as soon as I can.
. It can then try to boost the fluid pressure to compensate. So, it analyses the input speed, the gear selection, and the output speed to determine if the the transmission is working the way the computer intended. I contacted the local dealership where I usually get my car serviced and was told that Nissan knew about this issue and would not help with repair costs unless I brought my car to them for diagnostic testing. Nissan should be held responsible for their poor handling of this defect.
