P0715 on Chrysler
Input/Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction
P0715 on Chrysler vehicles indicates input/turbine speed sensor circuit malfunction. Au7o has documented this code across 2 Chrysler models — most commonly on LeBaron, New Yorker. P0715 indicates a malfunction in the input/turbine speed sensor circuit of an automatic transmission. This sensor measures how fast the transmission's input (turbine) shaft is rotating, which the transmission control module uses—alongside output speed—to calculate gear ratios and command smooth, properly timed shifts. When the signal is missing, erratic, or out of range, this code sets. Symptoms often include harsh or erratic shifting, incorrect shift points, no speedometer-related transmission data, or the transmission dropping into a limp/fail-safe mode. Typical repair costs on Chrysler range from $200 to $2,500, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0715
- •Faulty input/turbine speed sensor
- •Damaged wiring or connector at the sensor
- •Low or contaminated transmission fluid
- •Corroded or loose connector terminals
- •Open or short in the sensor circuit
- •Internal transmission wear or debris affecting the sensor
- •Faulty transmission control module (less common)
P0715 on Chrysler by Model
Chrysler LeBaron(1 issue)
- A604 (41TE) Automatic Transaxle Electronic Shift Solenoid Failure1990-1995
The LeBaron uses the Chrysler A604 (41TE) 4-speed electronically-controlled automatic transaxle. This was one of the first fully electronic automatics and its solenoid pack is the primary failure point. The solenoids develop internal leaks and electrical failures, causing erratic shifting, no-shift conditions, and limp mode (locked in 2nd gear). The transmission controller can also fail. The A604 was so problematic that Chrysler extended warranty coverage on early units.
Chrysler New Yorker(1 issue)
- A604 Ultradrive Transmission Premature Failure1994-1996
The New Yorker's A604 (41TE) 4-speed automatic was one of the first electronically controlled transmissions and is notorious for premature failure. The solenoid pack, input/output speed sensors, and clutch packs wear out, causing erratic shifting and complete failure.

What does P0715 mean on Chrysler?▼
P0715 stands for "Input/Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction." P0715 indicates a malfunction in the input/turbine speed sensor circuit of an automatic transmission. This sensor measures how fast the transmission's input (turbine) shaft is rotating, which the transmission control module uses—alongside output speed—to calculate gear ratios and command smooth, properly timed shifts. When the signal is missing, erratic, or out of range, this code sets. Symptoms often include harsh or erratic shifting, incorrect shift points, no speedometer-related transmission data, or the transmission dropping into a limp/fail-safe mode. On Chrysler specifically, this code is documented across 2 models.
