Powertrain DTC Charts and Descriptions 4-117

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts and Descriptions

P1900 - Output Shaft Speed (OSS) Sensor Circuit Intermittent (Continued) Application Key On Engine Off Key On Engine Running Continuous Memory

Manual Transmission GO to Pinpoint Test DP.

Automatic Transmission Refer to the Workshop Manual Section 307-01, Automatic Transmission, Pinpoint Test Output Shaft

Speed Sensor to continue diagnosis.

P1934 - Vehicle Speed Signal

Description: This DTC sets when there is a sudden loss of vehicle speed signal over a period of time. Vehicle speed data is

received from either the transmission control module (TCM) or the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module.

Possible Causes: • VSS+ circuit open

• VSS- circuit open

• VSS circuit short to ground

• VSS circuit short to voltage

• Damaged drive mechanism for VSS

• Damaged VSS

• Damaged wheel speed sensors

• Damaged wheel speed sensor harness circuits

Diagnostic Aids: Monitor the VSS PID while driving the vehicle. If vehicle speed data is lost, check the TCM or ABS module for

related DTCs.

Application Key On Engine Off Key On Engine Running Continuous Memory

Manual Transmission GO to Pinpoint Test DP.

All others The PCM uses information from the ABS module and the transmission control module (TCM) to

calculate vehicle speed. Check these modules for DTCs.

P1935 - Brake Switch/Sensor Signal

Description: The PCM continuously monitors the controller area network (CAN) for messages from the anti-lock brake

system (ABS) module. This DTC sets when the PCM does not receive the ABS message within the defined amount of time.

Possible Causes: • Communication error

Diagnostic Aids: Check for other ABS DTCs or ABS related symptoms. Diagnose all other ABS DTCs or ABS related symptoms

first.

Application Key On Engine Off Key On Engine Running Continuous Memory

All GO to Pinpoint Test QA.

P193C - Steering Wheel Angle Signal

Description:

Possible Causes:

Diagnostic Aids: Check for other module DTCs or related symptoms. Refer to the appropriate Workshop Manual section to

diagnose any other DTCs retrieved. If no other module DTCs are retrieved, follow the Workshop Manual diagnostic routine for steering wheel rotation sensor concerns.

Application Key On Engine Off Key On Engine Running Continuous Memory

All Refer to the Description, Possible Causes and Diagnostic Aids for the DTC.

P193F - Vehicle Speed Signal Intermittent

Description: This DTC sets when the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) input signal was intermittent. This DTC sets when the

PCM detects the vehicle speed signal has been interrupted several times during a drive cycle.

Possible Causes: • VSS connections intermittent

• VSS circuits intermittent short

• VSS circuits intermittent open

• Damaged VSS
