Cel: P0715

[Denlasoul]

Hey all-

Pulled a code from my car, P0715 Turbine Sensor Malfunction.

Anyone know the causes or have additional background for me?

Thanks

Update:

My mechanic had it for a few days and believes that it may have been some glitch. He drove my car while running the diagnostics and nothing came up.

He believes that two possibilities may account: 1) glitch, and 2) valve body may be going out.

His advice was to drive the car and see if I can replicate the code or see if anything funny happens. If indeed I start getting more codes (and more frequently) then changing the valve body is the next step.

Update:

Car is in to have valve body replaced. According to the diagnostics, sensor was shot.

Should have results in a week or so.

how much is this repair?

Car is back and runs like new!

Replaced valve body, tranny fluid, filter, connector, pan. One other observation was no metal or gunk in the tranny fluid.

Thanks again SG Motorsports.
