DTC P0500

The output speed sensor (OSS) is a hall-effect type sensor. The OSS mounts to the automatic transmission case assembly and connects to the control solenoid valve assembly through a 2-wire harness and connector. The sensor faces the park gear teeth. The sensor receives battery voltage on the OSS supply voltage circuit from the transmission control module (TCM). As the output shaft rotates, the sensor produces a signal frequency based on the number of teeth on the park gear and rotational speed of the output shaft. This signal is transmitted through the OSS signal circuit to the TCM. The TCM uses the OSS signal to determine line pressure, transmission shift patterns, vehicle speed and gear ratio. The TCM also broadcasts the transmission output speed. The ECM continuously monitors the serial data for the transmission output speed and uses the data to calculate the vehicle speed.

P0500 08

The ECM detects the vehicle speed is less than 1 km/h for greater than 5 seconds with engine speed and engine torque greater than a threshold value that is calibration dependant.

P0500 11

The ECM detects the vehicle speed is greater than 300 km/h for greater than 1 second.

P0500 71

The ECM detects the CAN signal is not valid for greater than 2 seconds.

DTC P0500 is a Type B DTC.

1. Ignition On, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify no TCM OSS DTCs or communication DTCs are set.

⇒	If any TCM or communication DTCs are set, diagnose those DTCs first. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for further diagnosis.

2. Operate the vehicle at 16-32 km/h (10-20 mph) while observing the TCM Transmission OSS parameter on the scan tool. The Transmission OSS parameter should vary with the vehicle speed and not drop out.
3. Operate the vehicle at 16-32 km/h (10-20 mph) while observing the ECM Vehicle Speed Sensor parameter. The Vehicle Speed Sensor parameter should vary with the vehicle speed and not drop out.
4. If DTC P0500 sets, diagnosis is accomplished by looking for an intermittent serial data fault. Refer to Scan Tool Does Not Communicate with High Speed GMLAN Device .
5. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
