P2748

Moderate

Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor B Circuit Intermittent

What Does P2748 Mean?

The transmission control module is detecting an intermittent signal from intermediate shaft speed sensor B that cuts in and out during operation. This indicates a loose connection, damaged wiring with intermittent continuity, or a sensor failing internally.

Common Causes

40%

Loose or corroded connection at intermediate shaft speed sensor B connector

Sensor Connector
Connector Pins

30%

Damaged wiring harness with intermittent short or open circuit

Wiring Harness
Sensor Circuit Wiring

20%

Failing sensor with intermittent internal connection or coil breakdown

Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor B

10%

Excessive vibration causing intermittent sensor mounting or reluctor ring movement

Sensor Mounting
Reluctor Ring

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Perform wiggle test on sensor connector and wiring while monitoring live data for signal dropouts

2

Step 2: Inspect connector pins for corrosion, bent terminals, or improper seating; clean and secure connection

3

Step 3: Check sensor mounting bolts for proper torque and verify sensor is not loose in housing

4

Step 4: Test drive vehicle over various road conditions while data logging sensor B signal to capture intermittent fault

5

Step 5: Inspect wiring harness routing for areas of chafing against sharp edges or heat sources; repair or reroute as needed

Estimated Repair Cost

$150 - $600
