DTC Code P2766 – What does this code mean?

Severity:
critical
<p>The DTC code P2766 indicates an issue with the Input/Turbine Speed Sensor 'B' Circuit Range/Performance, where the sensor detects the primary pulley revolution speed and sends signals to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) and Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM sets this code when the Input Speed Sensor is out of factory specifications.</p>

Symptoms for DTC Code P2766

<ul> <li><b>Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)</b>: The illumination of the engine light indicates a detected issue with the Input/Turbine Speed Sensor 'B' circuit. This could be due to a malfunctioning sensor, wiring issues, or a problem with the transmission control module.</li> <li><b>Erratic Transmission Shifting</b>: The vehicle may experience irregular or harsh shifting patterns. This symptom is often linked to incorrect or inconsistent readings from the Input/Turbine Speed Sensor 'B'.</li> <li><b>Transmission Slippage</b>: The transmission may slip or fail to engage properly. This can be caused by the sensor providing inaccurate speed data to the transmission control module.</li> <li><b>Reduced Fuel Efficiency</b>: Inaccurate speed sensor readings can lead to improper transmission operation, which may result in decreased fuel efficiency.</li> </ul>

Common Causes for DTC Code P2766

<ul><li>Faulty Input Speed Sensor: The sensor may be malfunctioning, leading to incorrect readings.</li><li>Input Speed Sensor harness is open or shorted: Damaged wiring can disrupt the signal transmission.</li><li>Input Speed Sensor circuit poor electrical connection: Loose or corroded connections can cause intermittent signal loss.</li></ul>

Troubleshooting for DTC Code P2766

<ul> <li><b>Check Technical Service Bulletins (TSB)</b>: Review TSBs for known issues and fixes related to the P2766 code for your specific vehicle.</li> <li><b>Visual Inspection</b>: Inspect system wiring and connectors for disconnections, corrosion, burns, or shorts. Repair or replace as necessary.</li> <li><b>Battery and Alternator Check</b>: Test the battery and inspect battery cables and ends. Test alternator output to ensure proper charging system function.</li> <li><b>Retrieve and Note Codes</b>: Connect an advanced diagnostic scanner to the diagnostic port, retrieve all stored codes, and note freeze frame data for future reference.</li> <li><b>Data Stream Analysis</b>: Use the scanner data stream to determine which circuit is at fault. Narrow the data stream to include only pertinent information.</li> <li><b>Inspect Sensors for Debris</b>: Check for excessive metal debris on magnetic surfaces of input and/or output speed sensors. Remove excessive debris before reinstallation.</li> <li><b>Inspect Interruption Grooves/Reluctor Wheel</b>: Inspect interruption grooves and/or reluctor wheel notches when sensors are removed.</li> <li><b>Test Sensors with DVOM</b>: Use a DVOM to test individual sensors according to manufacturer’s specifications. Replace sensors that do not comply.</li> <li><b>Check Sensor to Reluctor Clearance</b>: Ensure that sensor to reluctor clearance is within specifications and that mounting surfaces/threaded holes are clear of obstructions.</li> <li><b>Suspect PCM Issues</b>: If all system circuits and sensors are in proper working order, suspect a faulty PCM or a PCM programming error.</li></ul>

Severity Description for DTC Code P2766
