Hi Folks,
Anyone on here knows what a "Turbine Speed Sensor" code error is, and what are the likely symptoms the vehicle will show? Had a diagnostic run recently, and that's the code that came back....big trouble?

 

what was the actual code number? I've never heard of a "turbine speed sensor".

do you have a MSP?

 

PO715
MSP....what's that...

 

mazdaspeed protege...a turbo car.


what kind of car do you drive?

 

Oh....as in MazdaSpeed...nah, I have a 2000/2001 Tiptronic Mazda Familia (aka Protege), 1500 CCs...49000kms...no mods.

 

wait! your name is familiar...are you from trinidad? I think I spoke with you before about your car.

to be honest without the number of the code I can't help you any. It sounds like a transmission code not an engine code.

 

I'm from Barbados....yeah, we spoke b4 i believe...yes, its a transmission error...the code is PO715 i think...

 

shoot, I don't know much about those engines/transmissions. I would think your best bet is to take it to a transmission-only shop like "Mr. Transmission". Do you have those there?

what is the car doing differently? Is it acting the same?

 

well, sometimes when i'm driving, u feel this 'bump' and then the AT light comes on, blinking on and off every second...when this happens, if try to accelerate, it doesnt change up, it just jumps into 1st gear from 4th...but, when i come to a complete stop, the light goes off and the car goes back to performing normally... this happens ever so often, not very often...who know...any ideas?

 

you up to date on all your transmission services? flushes AND new filters? every 30K miles?

 

errr...i believe so, i trust my mechanic to handle that for me...

 

Just for the record folks, the speed sensor was faulty...changed it and presto! Life is good again.

Cheers and Happy Holidays to all.
