DTC Code P2784 – What does this code mean?

Severity:
critical
<p>DTC Code P2784 indicates a correlation issue between Input/Turbine Speed Sensor 'A' and 'B', where the Input Speed 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 sensor is out of factory specifications.</p>

Symptoms for Error Code P2784

<ul> <li><b>Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)</b>: <b>Engine Light ON</b> indicates a detected issue with the input/turbine speed sensor correlation. This can be caused by <ul><li>faulty input/turbine speed sensors</li><li>damaged wiring or connectors</li><li>issues with the transmission control module (TCM)</li></ul></li> <li><b>Erratic Transmission Shifting</b>: <b>Erratic Transmission Shifting</b> may occur due to incorrect speed sensor readings, leading to improper gear changes. Potential causes include <ul><li>malfunctioning speed sensors</li><li>TCM faults</li><li>electrical issues</li></ul></li> <li><b>Transmission Slipping</b>: <b>Transmission Slipping</b> can result from the TCM receiving inconsistent speed data, causing it to mismanage gear engagement. Possible causes are <ul><li>defective speed sensors</li><li>TCM malfunctions</li><li>wiring problems</li></ul></li> <li><b>Reduced Fuel Efficiency</b>: <b>Reduced Fuel Efficiency</b> may be a symptom due to the transmission not operating optimally, often linked to <ul><li>faulty speed sensors</li><li>incorrect gear ratios</li><li>TCM issues</li></ul></li> </ul>

Common Causes for Error Code P2784

<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 between the sensor and the ECU.</li><li>Input Speed Sensor circuit poor electrical connection: Loose or corroded connections can cause intermittent or incorrect sensor signals.</li></ul>

Troubleshooting for Error Code P2784

<ul> <li><b>Initial Scan</b>: Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the presence of DTC P2784 and check for any additional codes.</li> <li><b>Visual Inspection</b>: Inspect the wiring and connectors related to the input/turbine speed sensors for any signs of damage, corrosion, or disconnection.</li> <li><b>Sensor Testing</b>: Test the input/turbine speed sensors 'A' and 'B' using a multimeter to check for proper resistance and voltage readings as per the manufacturer's specifications.</li> <li><b>Connector Check</b>: Ensure that the connectors for the sensors are securely attached and free from any debris or corrosion.</li> <li><b>Signal Verification</b>: Use an oscilloscope to verify the signal output from both sensors while the engine is running to ensure they are producing accurate and consistent signals.</li> <li><b>ECU Inspection</b>: Check the Engine Control Unit (ECU) for any signs of damage or malfunction that could affect the sensor readings.</li> <li><b>Test Drive</b>: Perform a test drive to monitor the sensor readings in real-time and ensure the issue has been resolved.</li> <li><b>Final Scan</b>: Conduct a final OBD-II scan to confirm that the DTC P2784 code has been cleared and no new codes have appeared.</li></ul>

Severity Description for Error Code P2784

<p>The DTC code P2784 indicates an issue with the correlation between Input/Turbine Speed Sensor 'A' and 'B'. This is a critical issue as it can lead to severe transmission problems.</p><ul><li><b>Immediate Actions:</b> Inspect and possibly replace the speed sensors.</li><li><b>Potential Risks:</b> Delayed repair can result in transmission failure, leading to costly repairs and potential safety hazards.</li></ul>
