Connected a scan tool and found codes: P0720 – Output Speed Sensor Circuit and P0722 – Output Speed Sensor Circuit No Signal. Performed a visual inspection of the transmission output shaft speed sensor wiring harness and found no obvious faults. Accessed the powertrain control module (PCM), unplugged the connectors and measured the resistance of the transmission output shaft speed sensor across the pins of the PCM connector. Found the measured resistance was not within specifications. Disconnected the transmission output shaft speed sensor and connected a test light across the sensor connector. Supplied power and ground to the transmission output shaft speed sensor terminals and found the test light illuminated. Performed a wiggle test on the transmission output shaft speed sensor wiring harness and found the test light remained illuminated. This indicated the transmission output shaft speed sensor was faulty. – Customer acknowledged notice and gave oral approval of estimated repairs. REMOVE ALL NECESSARY COMPONENTS. REMOVE AND REPLACE OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR. ASSEMBLE TOGETHER AND MAKE ALL NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS. TEST ALL AFFECTED AREAS.

Confirmed the customer's complaint and found drive belt had broken off. Also engine coolant leaked from the vehicle. Inspected the engine coolant level and condition and found the engine coolant level was low. Filled the engine coolant to the proper operating level and continued diagnosing the vehicle. Connected an engine coolant pressure tester to the radiator and applied pressure to the engine cooling system. Inspected the engine cooling system and found engine coolant leaked from the engine water pump. Also check water pump and found that the pulley has seized. Will need to have water pump and drive belt replaced.

Confirmed the customer's complaint and found the engine did not start. Inspected the ignition system and the air intake system, but found no concerns. Inspected the engine coolant level and condition and found the engine coolant level was low. Filled the engine coolant to the proper operating level and continued diagnosing the vehicle. Connected an engine coolant pressure tester to the radiator and pressurized the engine cooling system to check for leaks. Inspected the engine cooling system and did not find a leak, but the engine coolant pressure tester reading indicated a leak was present. Removed the engine coolant pressure tester from the radiator, used a gas analyzer to check for the presence of hydrocarbons at the radiator filler neck and found hydrocarbons were present. Removed the spark plugs for inspection and found the spark plugs were contaminated with engine coolant. Rand a compression test and there was no compression in the cylinders. Internal problem with this engine. Will need to have cylinder head gasket replaced or possibly the engine.

Confirmed the customer's complaint and found the air conditioning was inoperative at idle. Inspected the air conditioning system with the engine at idle and found the engine cooling fan did not operate. With the key on, engine off, used a multi-meter to check for voltage and ground at the engine cooling fan and found both were present. Used a set of fused jumper wires to apply voltage and ground to the engine cooling fan and found the fan did not respond. These test results verified the engine cooling fan was faulty.

Connected a scan tool and found P1299 – Cylinder Head Over Temperature Protection Active. Inspected the engine coolant level and condition, but found no faults. At idle, used the scan tool to monitor live data and found the cylinder head temperature sensor signal parameter was above specifications. Ran the engine and used an infrared thermometer to measure the engine coolant temperature at the engine coolant thermostat housing inlet and outlet. The measured temperatures at the engine coolant thermostat housing inlet and outlet were identical and at the specified operating temperature, which indicated the engine coolant thermostat had opened. Performed a visual inspection of the cylinder head temperature sensor and cylinder head temperature sensor wiring harness found no obvious faults. Used a multi-meter to measure the resistance of the cylinder head temperature sensor and found the sensor was internally shorted. – Customer acknowledged notice and gave oral approval of estimated repairs. REMOVE ALL NECESSARY COMPONENTS. REMOVE AND REPLACE CYLINDER HEAD COOLANT TEMP. SENSOR. ASSEMBLE TOGETHER AND MAKE ALL NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS. RESET ECU AND TEST ALL AFFECTED AREAS.
