OBD II Fault Code
- OBD II P215C
OBD-II Code Transmission may not shift properly is defined as a Output Shaft Speed - Wheel Speed Correlation
The Wheel Speed Sensors tell the Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Module how fast the vehicle is moving. The Output Shaft Speed Sensor tells the Transmission Control Module (TCM) how fast output shaft of the transmission is actually spinning. This information is compared between the PCM and TCM modules. If the Output Shaft Speed sensor does not match the vehicle speed sensor information, the PCM will set code P215C.
