code 61 transmission code

[suprra_girl]

so this is a thread devoted to victims of code 61 lol

we keep on suffering from code 61

here's my test procedure

check the sensor with meter on ohm and spin left rear wheel
does meter deflect readings?
> yes - your speed sensor itself is fine
> no - replace your sensor

check continuity from speed sensor wire right through to auto ecu
does it read 0.00?
> yes - good
> no - you have a bad speed signal wire

check continuity of sensor and ground through tranny/chassis
does it read 0.00?
> yes - do the checks in the tsrm on the auto ecu
> no - add a new ground wire to the 12mm nut on the sensor to chassis then check continuity, if readings are good hopefully o/d light no more

Have you done a swap? transmission/wiring harnesses etc?
> ensure that the same speed sensor is used from the original tranny

i'll see how the ground wire thing goes tomorrow and hopefully our code 61 is solved

and so i attached another earth strap today and retested the sensor... no change :icon_conf

so new speed sensor for us lol

so i decided to go and check on the old old tranny that was originallly in the car (ga70)
and what do you know, the 1g trans has a 1 wire speed sensor

Replaced the original 7mgte 2 wire speed sensor with the 1 wire and code 61 has finally left me!!!!

Altho it works and saves a bucketload of gas i don't get why it works lol
The car (originally ga70) the whole front was swapped from ga70 90+ to 87 ma70, engine, trans the lot, and yet the tranny throws its toys out of the cot. Put in a 1g speed sensor and it works.... go figure! lol

oh and the bucketloads of gas thing.... Was: 15mpg, Now: 25mpg woot!
