P2765

Input/Turbine Shaft Speed Sensor B Circuit

Automatic transmission Generic OBD-II Medium

What it means

P2765 means the TCM detected a fault in the "B" input/turbine shaft speed sensor circuit — the sensor that measures how fast the transmission's input (turbine) shaft is turning so it can time and control shifts. Without a valid signal, shifts can turn harsh or the transmission may go into limp mode. The engine still starts and runs; the causes are usually a wiring/connector fault or a failed sensor.

Medium

Can I keep driving? The engine starts and runs, but the transmission may shift harshly, hold a gear, or enter limp mode without a valid input-speed signal. Drive gently and get it checked.

Common symptoms

What you'll notice

Common causes

Most likely first

  1. Open, short, or high resistance in the input/turbine shaft speed sensor 'B' circuit
  2. Corroded, loose, or damaged sensor connector
  3. Failed input/turbine shaft speed sensor
  4. Debris on the sensor tip or a damaged tone/reluctor ring
  5. Chafed or broken wiring in the sensor harness

How to diagnose & fix

Work through it in order

  1. Read freeze-frame data and inspect the sensor connector and wiring for damage or corrosion.
  2. Check the sensor tip for metal debris and inspect the tone ring.
  3. Measure the sensor's resistance and signal against spec.
  4. Replace the input/turbine speed sensor if it's out of spec, then clear the code.
  5. Road-test to confirm normal shifting and a stable input-speed signal.

FAQ

Quick answers

Is it safe to drive with P2765?+
Short, gentle trips may be okay, but without a valid input-speed signal the transmission can shift poorly or drop into limp mode. Have it diagnosed before long drives.
Can I just clear P2765?+
It will clear, but a circuit or sensor fault returns quickly. Repair the wiring or replace the sensor instead of only resetting it.
