Code 17105 output speed sensor

Hi,

Before doing anything, make sure the trans fluid is full. If this has happened since the service, I have a feeling you will find the fluid is between 2 and 3 quarts low. If it is, make sure you use the correct fluid.

If this is the 6 speed automatic, here are the directions for checking fluid level. The attached pics correlate with these directions.

- Switch off engine.
The ATF temperature should not be more than approx. 30°C at start of test.
Transmission not in emergency running mode; ATF temperature not above approx. 30°C
Vehicle must be standing level
Selector lever in "P".
- Connect "tester" and continue switching until it is ready for operation.
- Press "right" Guided Functions.
- Then select vehicle, the transmission and Check ATF Level.
- Press arrow right.
- Start engine.
- Raise vehicle.
- Place drip tray under transmission.
- Press arrow right.

If a test temperature between 35°C and 45°C is displayed:

pic 2

- Remove ATF inspection plug from oil pan.

Pic 3

The ATF present in the overflow tube runs out.

If ATF drips out of drilling:

ATF does not need topping off.

- Install new seal to plug and tighten to 15 Nm. This completes the ATF check.

If no ATF drips out of inspection hole:

- Top off ATF.

Here are the directions for the 09G trans.

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Torque wrench (V.A.G 1331)

Used oil collection and extraction unit (V.A.G 1782 )

Vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system ( VAS 5051)

Drip tray for workshop hoist (VAS 6208)

Adapter for filling oil (VAS 6262)

Adapter (VAS 6262/2)

- With engine "running", install adapter for filling oil (VAS 6262/2) hand-tight.

Pic 4

- Add 1 l of ATF.

- Pull off adapter for oil filling (VAS 6262) at quick-release connection and check:

If ATF now flows out of hole in adapter:

ATF does not need topping off.

- Drain ATF until it drips.

- Install new seal to plug and tighten to 15 Nm. This completes ATF check.

If no ATF drips out:

- Add another liter => [ ATF, Filling ] See: Fluid - A/T > Procedures > ATF, Filling.

CAUTION!
An ATF level which is too low or too high will impair the function of the transmission. But if the transmission was 2 liters low, it must be carefully inspected. There is probably a "major" leak.
