Code P0717 Saturn Description

The Input Speed Sensor detects the primary pulley revolution speed and sends a signal to the Transmission. The Input Speed Sensor (ISS) is a hall-effect type sensor. The ISS mounts to the control valve upper body assembly and connects to the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly through a wire harness and connector. The sensor faces the 1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R clutch housing machined teeth surface. The sensor receives 8.3-9.3 volts on the Input/Output Speed Sensor (ISS/OSS) supply voltage circuit from the Transmission Control Module (TCM). As the 1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R clutch housing rotates, the sensor produces a signal frequency based on the machined surface of the 1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R clutch housing. This signal is transmitted through the ISS signal circuit to the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly. The control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly uses the ISS signal to determine line pressure, transmission shift patterns, Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) slip speed, and gear ratio. Control Module (TCM) and the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM sets the OBDII code when the Input Speed Sensor is out of factory specifications. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0717 is detected when TCM or ECM receives no signal from the sensor.
