Revolution Sensor P0720 Testing and Replacement
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- Today we'll be testing and replacing P0720 REVOLUTION SENSOR. Also known as - Vehicle Speed Sensor A/T. Don't get this confused with P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor. P0500 deals with speedometer reading on your dashboard. P0720 deals with Automatic Transmission Control Unit / Computer.
The revolution sensor detects the revolution of the idler gear and emits a pulse signal. This signal is sent to the A/T control unit (computer) which converts it into vehicle speed.

P0720 - A/T control unit does not receive the proper voltage signal from the sensor.

This was performed on a 1997 Nissan Maxima. Check with your vehicle's repair manual for testing parameters.
Great video as always, just saved me from replacing the speed sensor. However I wish it wasn't the revolution sensor that was bad, quite a price difference. Thanks for the video.
He's so close to the camera that I almost felt a kiss in my forehead
Thanks for your helpful explanation !
Glad I found this video. My buddy Honda Prelude 96 is throwing a P0715 code Input/Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction. I read on a a forum if odomter or speedometer does not work, it is due to VSS, but I did not see that problem when driving the car. The symptoms are kick/jump/jerk (whatever u wanna call it) after each shift or RPM (automatic). At first, I thought tranny is slipping, but wasn't sure. I just ordered the "Revolution sensor" from APW and hope that fixes the problem, if not, they do take returns unlike Advanceauto.
Thank you for the video. :) Best help on the internet so far for p0720 & p1574
so what did u do to fix the issue? since it was good
Good camera work and lighting and easy to follow.MERRY XMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
+Tom OConnor Thank you. Merry Christmas!
Really great explanation great job
Last week my 2011 Nissan Altima 2.5 S turned 80K miles then check engine light came on. I freaked out when it went into limp mode.
P0720
P0745
P0500
P0101
Thanks For the Clarification of the 720 & 500 codes!! Got both the P0500 & P0720, but found that when I unplug the input & output sensors, which are the Revolution sensors on a 2015 CVT Tranny (2015 Nissan Versa Note), I got other codes for the disconnect. But when I unplug the Actual Speed Sensor, does not pop any additional Codes. Now need to find this Speed Sensor, not Revolution Sensor :)
I have to say I have been searching for months to help find info on speed sensors and revolution sensors and you my friend have been the best and most informative I have found. You explain everything in very simple terms which is perfect.
I do have a question if the revolution sensor is no good what does the vehicle actually do to give you the idea it might be that? I;m not talking the code I'm actually wondering what it feels like, does it jerk then catch up, just plain die or what?
Thanks again for the help. Wish the parts for these were as cheap here in Texas as where you are.
Thank you for your very clear explanations and video! You give me confidence that MAYBE I can do this! :)!
Thx. Brilliant straight to the point.
So where is the output speed Sensor circuit ?
Love your video. Only, where are you shopping ? In 1:20 you say the speed sensor is $125. I bought that very sensor at the auto store for only $10.
Would this location and procedure be the same thing on Ford Explorer 1998 ?
Oh my God, you're saying, remove the driver's side front tire, and there it is ? Oh the other videos I've watched from other guys didn't say this.
Wow, love your video, you are explaining this far better than other video's I've seen from other people. Thank you..
Glad to help. The location will differ based on the vehicle; this was a '97 Maxima. If you're uncertain where the sensor is, try Google images or forums. Sometimes you can find the factory repair manual online which will show all sensors and locations.
Nice vids & even like the lead in/out jams!
Thank you!
Video was amazingly clear!
Thank you.
My signal voltage is a bit high 10.88 voltage and it should be around 5 volts
Wait,, is this the output speed sensor or the input speed sensor ?
I replaced my RSS and turns out a section of the wire melted or bunrnt? Anyone thinks that it might have touched the transmission and slowly melted the wire over time?
Very Good explanation and Video!
Thank you!
Is it the same for Benz 211? Getting a code 0720 output speed sensor. Please need location
My 08Infiniti FX 35 drives goes in neutral and park but won’t go in reverse bought the sensor but don’t know where it is located. Please I need help!
So I did this on my 05 nissan sentra. it has a 3 pin plug but on the first and second o believe I get a reading of 503-504 ohms. would this indicate it's failing? I can't find anything on what the ohms should be specifically.
cant you just take off the air filter unit an get it from the top and be easier? Also isnt the P0720 speed sensor the OUTPUT speed sensor"??
I have Nissan 350z and some código p1617 and looking on Google and show me the one you have on left side
Thanks
great vedeo mate and exlente explications regards from norway
Thank you. Damn amazing we can share this albeit being 4k miles away. Cheers.
Excellent, t really helped thanks!
Awesome! Glad to help.
Excelente video saludos desde Monterrey México me podrías ayudar tengo un código p0732 Nissan máxima 1999 ???
what happen if you have a faulthy sensor ?
mine has .445 ohms at 2k ohms i have a f150 5.4 2005 what are the proper ohm specification for the out put speed sensor in the tail of the transmission
I have a problem with a Honda Civic 2001 coupe, it does not enter any speed and I have already changed two silinoids
I get P0720 code only if I am driving over 80mph. Car runs fine except for shifting from Park to Drive and 1st to 2nd gear - car gives a jerk. Should I replace sensor?
my 03 sentra is throwing out a po720. shifts from 2nd to 3rd is sloppy. (shoots up 1000rpms before shifting) and everyday, when accelerating from a red light, the transmission will stay in first gear... so i pull over and cycle the engine on and off, and presto, it works again... anyways, my revolution sensor/output speed sensor has 3 wires. red, black, and white. would i test across red and white or what. i tried all the combinations, pretty sure the one i have is dead. multimeter is measuring "1" everywhere
Would you able to fix these problem? Because i am gaving the same issue with my 04 sentra. Only P0720 code is showing.
Does this apply to most cars like a 2005 hyundai santa fe ?
My revolution sensor for my 2001 Maxima has 3 pins who would I go about testing it exactly??
5v reference battery power and ground
Same for speed sensor ?
@@AnythingEverythingGh yes I repaired this car along time I moved on but from what I gathered they are the same thing it's pretty easy to replace and that fixed my code.
great video, what this sensor do, it shows the rpms? please let me know, cheers from ontario california.
I have a Fiat Punto 2011 dualogic.I have p0720 code at only and always 130 km/h speed. When the car is under 120 km/h code (warning) is disappearing.i changed the oss and complete gearbox. Still same problem.
:(What do u think? Where should i look to fix it? Please help me.
P0720 popped up on my 2002 Infiniti g20 and sensor reads ~1891 for ohm in 2000k multimeter setting... replacement necessary??
@CarsNtToys Would you happen to know the speed senor for 99 Nissan altima gxe been looking for it and unable to find the right one to purchase.tia
do you have a video for testing the three pin speed sensors, like the 31935 1XF00 on allot of nissans?
i replaced mine but or some reason it broke was very carfull when doing this got a nother one did the same thing
Красава!
hey man just wanted to say thanks for this video because most people get this sensor wrong but my question is , if my p0500 is bad will it cause it after warming up to not be able to go over 45 mph? greatly appreciate your input thanks.
+james blevins I agree. It's one of those things that people often mix up. I haven't run across a vehicle that inhibits vehicle speed but I wouldn't be surprised. Vehicles today are more electronic than mechanical. Any other trouble codes?
+CarsNToys just a knock sensor code. I think p0325. but I already replaced it. but it will drive for about ten minutes and then it deaccelerates from 65- to 45- 50 mph,but doesn't shut off the engine. but when you try to push on the gas while it deaccelerates it chugs and and I hear it slam the tranny while trying to push on the gas. but the slower the car goes and I ease on the accelerater it chugs fast unless I floor it. to describe the chug is like a rev limiter. but if in park it does the same thing minus being in gear. also once warmed up is hard to start. but if I start it up while its cold and warms its self up for more than a hour it won't do it unless I put it in gear even if I run it for and hour. my cluster isn't working either. but the only think of about the knock sensor is because the ecu isn't able to read the vss so it doesn't know when to fire retarting it. I have one video of it but you half to wear headphones to hear it.
+james blevins I have the same exact problem with my 2002 Nissan sentra, I replace the solenoids in the engine but it kept deceleration and wouldn't run over 40-50mph might be the revolution sensor
james blevins
I have a 2004 Nissan maxima ....would this make my tach stop working ?
Do you have part number of sensor? for order?
Thanks
I just tested the one on my 1999 infinity qx4 and it reads 608 ohms. Is that too much? Please help
I have a 1996 Nissan Pathfinder Xe, and according to part stores the transmission sensor an speed sensor both come to exactly the same price of 165 on o,relies parts store, an look exactly the same, is the speed sensor and transmission sensor all in one on my truck??wtf???
Don't know much about these things but does each wheel need a revolution sensor?
I agree. It's counter intuitive in a sense but generally the ecu computes with one sensor.
I have a 2004 Nissan murano and was told that the speed sensor is bad.can anyone help out get a good replacement
I have p0725 and was told it was the speed sensor? Part do I need?
Please . I do need your help people. I have toyota camry 2004 se 4 cylinders. code P0500 I replaced the sensor vss. the speedometer still not working. what should I do please
2:00 can I find it under a 2008 Nissan Sentra?
+CarsNToys, I have a 2006 Nissan Sentra. After watching this video i located the revolution sensor. The only bad thing is when I took out the sensor it started draining transmission fluid, i quickly put it back in to stop the drain. Is it normal to have fluid there?
Was your vehicle still hot when you took it out? Was the sensor on the top or bottom of the tranny?
Is the ohms setting as the same continuity?
I don't get reading for any of the scope under ohms setting in multimeter, but I get one with continuity setting; is it that same? If yes I get a reading around 1,547 am I doing the right thing or that sensor is bad with that reading. Testing the same 3 pin output speed sensor
Thanks
No, and yes.
P1716 ?
My revolution sensor has 3 pins. Which of the 3 pins do you use for reading the ohms?
What kind of vehicle?
I have a 98 maxima that bucks when accelerating and acts like loss of power. Dealer got a p0732 code and said I need a new trans. Any suggestions other than "new tranny" ? Anything is appreciated. Thanks
I'm afraid that code is due to a mechanical (rather than electrical) malfunction. A tranny shop can repair the specific problem (such as control valve sticking) but it's often cheaper to get another tranny. If it was my vehicle, I'd probably go with a used tranny that has a warranty. Or, it may be about the same price just donating the Maxima and purchasing another one. The 4th gen maxima's are pretty darn cheap. Good luck.
Im finished replace p0720 sensor, but not fix the problem, shifting still bad, whats the next step? My car nissan fairlady 370z
Other codes? Any mods?
@@CarsNToys only p0720
What year is your Z?
CarsNToys 370z 2011
enggartiasto dewanda hey any luck finding out what it is ??
If the sensor is in good condition, and the error is still there and the shifting is still bad, what is the next step?
What kind of vehicle are you working on? Send us an email to carsntoyshelp@gmail.com
not always true 12 Altima has 2 Vss nether has a gear
hii.. i have altima 2008, code p0725 engine speed sensor.. is it the same ???
nope.
Hey man my rpm and spedo doesnt work n my over drive light flashes 16 times on start up. Im goin to test the sensor as youve shown in this vid tomorrow but do you think that one sensor could cause both rpm n speedo or is it separate.
Usually two separate things. What kind of vehicle?
+CarsNToys 95 maxi i did trans diag and nothing popped up. Still flashes. And im just hoppin the gauge is done. 95 96 had bad clusters.
where you live
eating Jacksonville
what about a nissan sentra I have the same code poping up and when I Google search it the vehicle speed sensor comes up please help
What year?
2005
1.8L
It's technically called a revolution sensor for your specific vehicle. I can try to dig up a diagram showing its location if it helps.
+CarsNToys thanks
can you buy just that harness?
Sure. Try ebay.
Will this also fix a p1574 code for Nissan Maxima? (Has to do with the Cruise control being I operative sometimes)
What year?
2003 V6
ChrisPiggy
Any other trouble codes besides 1574?
CarsNToys Yes p0720
ChrisPiggy
Do u know ware it is on the 2003 mpv
I'm afraid not. Try Google Image search.
What about p1574?
Can this revolution sensor affect the way my car shifts? My nissan sentra goes into gear but revs high and berely moves when trying accelerate and car does not shift
And when they both fail it suxs
What year is this
1997
Can I get away with buying just the sensor and not the entire wiring ??
Sure, on most vehicles you can; so long as there's no problem with the wiring.
did you just say odozone
my nissan code is p0717 turbine revolution sensor i cant find it :\
Marilyn Ortega It sits on the top of the bell housing On nissan Rear wheel drive cars
slim jim87 i found mine and nissan put it inside my trans for my year uhh lol
ouch that sucks did you ever get it fixed :o??
Nope something else has went wrong with the car it only moves on initail start can go pass 60 fine as long as i dnt stop but once i stop it doesnt want to go unless i turn it off and back on again
Marilyn Ortega Woah that doesnt sound like a healthy car ): seems wrong with the transmission
Will the location be the same on a 2000::
I seen it on my car so is a yes..u can try look at it from the top
