XG30 3.0 petrol 2001. code 0715/1159 *FIXED*

[nk]

its coming up as input turbine speed sensor malfunction,dont know whats thats all about,anyone have any ideas?

[dodgemnz]

That fault code relates to the Torque converter speed sensor which is used to monitor the the gearbox slippage (Input rpm to output speed) and lockup states of the convertor. If that sensor fails the transmission may have difficulty shifting smoothly or getting the lockup to operate. It could possibly put up a code for incorrect gear ratio. You should be able to monitor this sensor directly in live data as part of the powetrain module.
Hope that helps!

thanks for reply!
i was thinking it could be auto transmission,but why would it put on the eml?
is this the way that hyundais work then?

[dodgemnz]

Im not sure exactly but it could be because the engine managment uses input speed data to calculate load etc. 
Could also be just because its a powertrain module with both ecu and trans in one box sharing all the signals?

thanks for your help,mike i think i got to the bottom of the problem.
theres to sensors on top of the gearbox,one input speed sensor and one output speed sensor.
the output one is the easier one to get to,the other one is more difficault.
anyway hyundai want 162 pounds plus tax for a new one
where do they get their prices from.

It could be a Mitsubishi part or perhaps Aisin gearbox part?
No sure what gearbox that model uses but often Mitsi based....

Glad to hear you got it sorted  Im lucky hmmmm    or maybe unlucky to do alot of work for a transmission specialist so ive picked up a few clues along the way... Ive also done a few transmissions for myself like the Renault Citroen DPO type so now names been spread about town
