DTC P0730 Gas
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) calculates the gear ratio based on the automatic transmission input shaft speed sensor (AT ISS) and the automatic transmission output shaft speed sensor (AT OSS) readings. The PCM compares the known transmission gear ratio to the calculated ratio for the selected gear ranges. Refer to Range Reference .
If the PCM detects an unknown transmission gear ratio, then DTC P0730 sets. DTC P0730 is a type C DTC.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is running longer than 7 seconds and not in fuel cut off.

| - | Greater than 1.50 or less than 1.44 |
| - | Greater than 1.03 or less than 0.97 |
| - | Greater than 2.12 or less than 2.05 |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM does not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). |
| • | The PCM commands maximum line pressure. |
| • | The PCM freezes shift adapts. |
| • | The PCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The PCM stores this information as Failure Records. |

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | A scan tool clears the DTC from PCM history. |
| • | The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission related diagnostic fault occurring. |
| • | The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM. |
Diagnostic Aids
| • | A false or incorrect AT OSS or AT ISS signal can set DTC P0730. |
| • | DTC P1870 detects an incorrect gear ratio in fourth gear with TCC applied. |
| • | Inspect for any improperly installed after-market equipment. |
| • | Sticking or contamination of shift valves may cause intermittent incorrect gear ratios. |
| • | Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio . |
| • | DTC P0730 defaults to an elevated line pressure condition which may result in partial TCC apply. This may produce an idle surge that could stall the engine. |

DTC P0730 Diesel
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) calculates a ratio based on the automatic transmission input shaft speed (ISS) sensor and output shaft speed (OSS) sensor readings. The PCM compares the known transmission gear ratio to the calculated ratio, for the selected gear range.
If the PCM detects an incorrect gear ratio, then DTC P0730 sets. DTC P0730 is a type C DTC.
