P0501-VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR 1 PERFORMANCE
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) receives information from the Engine, Anti-lock Brake System, and the Electronic Gear Shift control modules over the CAN C bus. The CAN C bus is a high speed communication bus that allows real time control capability between various controllers. Most messages are sent every 20 msec, this means critical information can be shared between multiple controllers almost instantaneously. The CAN C bus is a two wire bus with a CAN (+) and a CAN (-) circuit. To reduce the potential of radio and other electrical noise interference, the CAN Bus circuit wiring is manufactured using a twisted pair configuration within the electrical wiring harness.
-
When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on.
-
Set Condition:
The DTC will set if multiple ABS wheel speed signals are invalid.

Always perform the NAG1 Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Transmission Control (TCM) - Standard Procedure).
1. CHECK FOR DTCS U0001-CAN C BUS DTC or U0121-LOST COMMUNICATION WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKE MODULE
| 1. | With the scan tool, check DTCs. |
Is DTC U0001-CAN C BUS DTC or U0121-LOST COMMUNICATION WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKE MODULE set?
Yes
- Perform the diagnostic procedure for U0001-CAN C BUS DTC first if it is present.
- Perform the NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Transmission Control (TCM) - Standard Procedure).
No
- Go To 2
| 1. | With the scan tool, read ABS DTCs. |
Are there any ABS DTCs present?
Yes
- (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Diagnosis and Testing) and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure.
- Perform the NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Transmission Control (TCM) - Standard Procedure).
No
- Using the schematics as a guide, check the Transmission Control Module (TCM) pins, terminals, and connectors for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. If no problems are found, replace and program the TCM in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Transmission Control (TCM) - Standard Procedure).
