Toyota Sienna Service Manual: Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit No Signal
DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the rotation speed of the input turbine. By comparing the input turbine speed signal (NT) with the counter gear speed sensor signal (NC), the ECM detects the shift timing of the gears and appropriately controls the engine torque and hydraulic pressure according to various conditions. Thus, providing smooth gear shift.
Reference (Using an oscilloscope): Check the waveform between terminals NT+ and NT- of the ECM connector.
Standard: Refer to the illustration.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The NT terminal of the ECM detects a revolution signal from the speed sensor (NT) (input RPM). The ECM calculates a gearshift comparing the speed sensor (NT) with the speed sensor (NC).
While the vehicle is operating in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear in the shift position of D, if the input shaft revolution is less than 300 rpm *1although the output shaft revolution is more than 1,000 rpm *2, the ECM detects the trouble, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
*1: Pulse is not output or is irregularly output.
*2: The vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or more.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 INSPECT SPEED SENSOR INSTALLATION
(a) Check the speed sensor installation.
OK: The installation bolt is tightened properly and there is no clearance between the sensor and transaxle case.
2 INSPECT SPEED SENSOR (NT)
(a) Disconnect the speed sensor connector from the transaxle.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
3 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPEED SENSOR - ECM)
(a) Connect the speed sensor connector.
(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
(d) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

On-vehicle inspection
1. CHECK FLUID LEVEL
HINT:
Drive the vehicle so that the engine and transaxle are at
normal operating temperature.
Fluid temperature:
70 to 80°C (158 to 176°F)
(a) Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the
parking brake.
(b) With the engine idling and the ...

1. INSPECT NO. 1 VALVE ROCKER ARM SUBASSEMBLY
(a) Turn the roller by hand to check that it turns
smoothly.
HINT:
If the roller does not turn smoothly, replace the valve
rocker arm sub-assembly.
2. INSPECT VALVE LASH ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY
NOTICE:
Keep the lash adjuster free of dirt ...
