P07C0
Input/Turbine Shaft Speed Sensor A Circuit High
Sensor A signal voltage above the upper limit — short to reference voltage or open signal return. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
- Check engine light: Yes
- Emissions related: No
- Repair difficulty: medium
Symptoms
- Check engine or transmission warning light on
- Harsh, delayed, or missing shifts
- Possible limp mode (locked in one gear)
- Slipping or shuddering during gear changes
Common causes
Ordered by how often each turns out to be the cause.
- Signal wire shorted to reference voltageCommon
- Connector pins corroded - high contact resistanceLess likely
- Supply wire pinched against B+ sourceLess likely
