DTC P2748: Even Gear Shaft Speed Sensor (Intermittent Failure) (DCT)
General Description
The even gear shaft speed sensor is attached to the outside of the transmission housing. The even gear shaft speed sensor generates a pulsing signal according to the speed of the pulse plate of the main clutch. Using that signal, the powertrain control module (PCM) determines the speed of the main clutch. If no pulses occur with the main clutch rotating, the PCM detects a malfunction that may be caused by a temporary open or a temporary short to ground. Based on the fluctuation of the vehicle speed measured by the even gear shaft speed sensor, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
Monitor Execution, Sequence, Duration, DTC Type, OBD Status
| Execution | Continuous |
| Sequence | None |
| Duration | 500 milliseconds |
| DTC Type | Two drive cycles, MIL on, A/T gear position indicator blinks |
| OBD Status | PASSED/FAILED/NOT COMPLETED (STILL TESTING) |
Enable Conditions
| Condition | Minimum | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle speed [Vehicle Speed] | 13 mph (20 km/h) | - |

[ ]: HDS Parameter
Malfunction Threshold
The fluctuation of the vehicle speed measured by the even gear shaft speed sensor in 10 milliseconds is 4 mph (6 km/h) or more, and it fluctuates at least six times within 500 milliseconds.
Possible Cause
NOTE: The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
- Even gear shaft speed sensor line intermittent short to ground
- Even gear shaft speed sensor line intermittent open (includes connector loose connection or disconnection)
- Even gear shaft speed sensor intermittent failure
- PCM internal circuit failure
Confirmation Procedure
Operating Condition
- 1.
Start the engine.
- 2.
Drive the vehicle at a speed of 13 mph (20 km/h) or more so it shifts from 1st to 8th gear.
- Drive the vehicle in this manner only if the traffic regulations and ambient conditions allow.
With the HDS
None.
Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and a Confirmed DTC and the freeze data are stored.
Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the 12 volt battery.
