Input speed sensor — malfunction

Where to start

The input speed sensor of the transmission. The gearbox no longer knows how fast the shaft turns and either shifts harshly or drops into limp mode with a single gear. You can drive home on it, but not far and not fast.

A code is not a diagnosis. It says which check failed, not which part to replace. Clearing it without repair only means the car will report it again in a few trips.

How the app helps

CarScan reads this code from your car through an OBD-II adapter, shows whether it is active now or only stored, names the module that reported it, and puts it into a plain-text report for your mechanic.
