P0715 on Ford
Input/Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction
P0715 on Ford vehicles indicates input/turbine speed sensor circuit malfunction. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Ford model — most commonly on F-150. 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 Ford range from $150 to $4,500, 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 Ford by Model
Ford F-150(1 issue)
- 10R80 10-speed transmission harsh/erratic shifting and torque-converter shudder2017-2023
The 10R80 10-speed automatic (introduced on the 2017 F-150) is widely reported to shift harshly: jerking, clunking, banging on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts, hesitation, gear hunting, and occasional limp-mode with a 'Transmission Not in Park' or 'drive mode not available' message. Many trucks also exhibit a torque-converter lockup-clutch shudder felt as a vibration around 30-45 mph. Root causes traced in later TSBs include adaptive-calibration mismatch during break-in, CDF drum bushing migration, and valve-body bore wear/scoring. A class action (O'Connor v. Ford, N.D. Illinois) covers the defect.
