NOTE:

Record all freeze data and review General Troubleshooting Information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ) before you troubleshoot.
This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission.

Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect CVT speed sensor connector.
Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
Measure the voltage between CVT speed sensor connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.
