Problem overview

Some Mitsubishi Galant owners report experiencing issues with their speedometer due to a faulty speed sensor in the transmission. These problems can manifest as an improperly functioning speedometer, which may lead to harsh or incorrect shifting, as the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) relies on accurate speed signals for gear shifting. Additionally, some owners may encounter communication errors related to the transmission input speed sensor, indicated by the P0715 trouble code, which can signal issues with the speed sensor, shift solenoid, wiring, or low transmission fluid levels. To resolve these concerns, it may be necessary for owners to clean the contacts between the wiring and the speed sensor or to replace the sensor entirely to restore proper functionality. Addressing these issues promptly is crucial for maintaining the vehicle's performance and safety.
