how to diagnose the P0720 speed sensor error in my Tesla Outback 6th Generation (2020-2024)?

• •Check engine light illuminated
• •Erratic speedometer readings
• •Transmission shifting issues
• •Poor acceleration or hesitation
• •Potential increase in fuel consumption

1. 1Scan the vehicle using an OBD-II scanner to confirm the P0720 error code and check for any related codes.
2. 2Visually inspect the speed sensor wiring and connectors for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
3. 3Measure the voltage output from the speed sensor with a multimeter while the vehicle is in motion to ensure it is producing the correct voltage signal.
4. 4Check the vehicle's speedometer operation to see if it functions correctly or exhibits any irregularities.
5. 5Inspect the vehicle’s transmission fluid level and condition, as low or contaminated fluid can affect sensor performance.
6. 6Clear the error code and perform a test drive to see if the code reappears or if the symptoms persist.

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:

• ✓Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
• ✓Check for any error codes or warning lights
• ✓Monitor the vehicle for a few days to ensure the issue does not recur

To prevent this issue from occurring again:

• •Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule
• •Address warning signs early before they develop into major issues
• •Use quality parts and fluids recommended for your vehicle
• •Keep detailed records of all repairs and maintenance

• •OBD-II scanner
• •Multimeter
• •Socket set
