Hi. I have 2011 Fiat Punto 1.4 8v. (Dualogic Transmission). I have a weird problem. P0720 code. While driving my car at "only" 90 -95 km/h speed "check transmission fault apeears on the screen and couldn't get 5th gear because of this. If i slow down (under 90km/h) i can get 5th easily using manual option (i mean tiptronic) I changed the oss (on transmission) 2 times but nothing changed. I checked the abs whell sensors and i think they are working. My speedometer is working normally.i changed the clutch kit. Why i see this fault at always same speed? Please someone help me.

The P0720 code is a standard OBD-II trouble code that detects an issue with the output speed sensor circuit. The powertrain control module (PCM) relies on a signal from the output speed sensor, so that it can determine the correct shift strategy and send that information to the transmission.

From that, I would say replace the speed sensor and check the wires as they may have gotten pulled and are not connecting well.

    You are right. Maybe i need to check the wires. But bad wiring doesn't explain my problem i think. Because i see the trouble code at always 92 km/h speed. What do you think?

SOURCE: 2001 dodge stratus wont shift

Good Evening, I have a dumb question. have you cleared any current or history codes in the transmission? They will default with codes in the system. Also make note on what they are. If any and we can go from there, and yes tcm would be the next place to go but more info is best as far as codes and such.

if it worked for a short time then check the wiring around the sensor you would have moved them around changing the sensor

2018 Fiat 500 Turbo - help with shifting?

This says it is one or the other.

For 2018, the Fiat 500 will come standard with a turbocharger fitted to its 1.4-litre engine, offering 33 percent more horsepower than its predecessor.
The engine now boasts 135 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque, delivered to the wheels via a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. Every Fiat 500 trim will also come with a facelifted sportier appearance, so you can tell it apart from its sluggish antecedent.

Keep losing auto mode grande punto dualogic??

Hello
The engine and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

Check engine light with following codes p 1529 p0720 p0715

P1529 indicates that your TCM asked the ECM to turn on the check engine lamp.

The range switch and the output speed sensors are the items that are abnormally affecting the operation of the transmission. The diagnostic logic in your computer can distinguish these issues from one another, so you'll definitely want to do both. You have no diagnostic code for the input speed sensor (P0715) listed, so I have made no recommendation to replace it. In my opinion, it's not a labor-intensive repair, so I wouldn't recommend replacing it unless you have reason to believe it's bad.

DTC - P0720 (OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR SYSTEM)
Code No. P0720 Output shaft speed sensor system
If the output from the output shaft speed sensor is continuously 50% lower than the vehicle speed for 1 second or more while driving in 3rd or 4th gear at a speed of 30 km/h or more, it is judged to be an open circuit or short-circuit in the output shaft speed sensor and diagnostic trouble code No. P0720 is output. If diagnostic trouble code No. P0720 is output four times, the transmission is locked into 3rd gear or 2rid gear as a fail-safe measure.
Probable cause
Malfunction of the output shaft speed sensor
Malfunction of the transfer drive gear or driven gear
Malfunction of connector
Malfunction of the TCM

DTC - P0715 (INPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR SYSTEM)
Code No. P0715 input shaft speed sensor system
If no output pulse is detected from the input shaft speed sensor for 1 second or more while driving in 3rd or 4th gear at a speed of 30 km/h (19 mph) or more, it is judged to be an open circuit or short-circuit in the input shaft speed sensor and diagnostic trouble code No. P0715 is output. If diagnostic trouble code P0715 is output four times, the transaxle is locked into 3rd gear or 2nd gear as a fail-safe measure.
Probable cause
Malfunction of the input shaft speed sensor
Malfunction of the underdrive clutch retainer
Malfunction of connector
Malfunction of the TCM

Is needed replace.
