P2745 Fault Code

Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor B Circuit

• What does that mean?
• Symptoms
• Causes
• Solutions

The P2745 code is associated with an issue in the Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor B Circuit, which is crucial for the proper functioning of the vehicle's transmission system. This sensor helps in monitoring the speed of the intermediate shaft in a transmission, providing vital data to the engine control module (ECM) for optimizing gear shifts and overall transmission efficiency.

• Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor: Monitors the rotational speed of the intermediate shaft.
• B Circuit: Indicates a specific circuit within the sensor system that has encountered an error or malfunction.

What are the symptoms of the P2745 code?

When the P2745 code is present, drivers may notice the following symptoms:

• Unusual shifting behavior in the transmission, such as slipping or delays in shifting
• Illumination of the check engine light on the dashboard
• Potential decrease in fuel efficiency due to improper gear selection
• Transmission overheating due to improper operation.

What causes the P2745 code?

Several factors can lead to the P2745 code being triggered, including:

• Faulty Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor
• Wiring issues such as frayed or corroded connectors
• Poor electrical connections affecting the sensor signal
• Internal transmission problems causing incorrect readings
• Malfunctioning ECM failing to interpret the signal from the sensor correctly.

How to fix P2745?

To resolve the P2745 fault code, follow these steps:

• Inspect the Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor for physical damage and replace it if needed.
• Check for loose, corroded, or damaged wiring and connectors in the sensor circuit.
• Use a diagnostic scanner to reset the ECM after repairs have been made to see if the code returns.
• If the problem persists, consider a deeper examination of the transmission system and ECM for faults.
