P2766

Moderate

Input/Turbine Speed Sensor "B" Circuit Range/Performance

What Does P2766 Mean?

The input/turbine speed sensor B is providing a signal that is outside the expected range or shows implausible readings compared to other transmission parameters. The sensor is functioning but reporting incorrect data.

Common Causes

35%

Failing input/turbine speed sensor B with intermittent operation

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Compare input speed sensor B readings with sensor A and output speed sensor using scan tool data in real-time

2

Step 2: Check for excessive metal contamination in transmission fluid indicating internal damage

3

Step 3: Measure sensor air gap if accessible (typically 0.020-0.050 inches)

4

Step 4: Test sensor output voltage/frequency while manually rotating input shaft (transmission in neutral, engine off)

5

Step 5: Perform transmission pressure tests to rule out mechanical slippage causing erratic speed readings

Estimated Repair Cost

$200 - $1,500

Frequently Asked Questions

What does P2766 mean?

The input/turbine speed sensor B is providing a signal that is outside the expected range or shows implausible readings compared to other transmission parameters. The sensor is functioning but reporting incorrect data.

What causes P2766?

The most common cause of P2766 (Input/Turbine Speed Sensor "B" Circuit Range/Performance) is: Failing input/turbine speed sensor B with intermittent operation

How much does it cost to fix P2766?

Typical repair costs for P2766 range from $200 to $1,500, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.

Is it safe to drive with P2766?

Transmission may exhibit erratic shifting, harsh engagement, or enter limp mode. Generally safe for limited driving but incorrect speed signals can cause improper shift timing and potential transmission damage.

How do I diagnose P2766?

Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2766 to identify the root cause.
