[New Sensor for P1710 fault code and hard shifts 5EAT]

New Turbine Speed 2 sensors available on Trademe.

The later version of 5EAT transmissions are notorious for P1710 faults. Subaru’s fix is a new valve body $4200+++

The Hall effect shaft input sensor is the problem. Replace it yourself an easy fix.

I have a new VF40 for sale on Trademe with gaskets, will bolt straight on. Bought, then changed my mind and went bigger. My loss someone else's gain. No tuning required.

[A Fix for P1710 and Hard Shifts 5EAT transmission]

2008 2.0lt GT legacy. I was getting occasional very hard shifts under hard acceleration and on inclines, sometimes with flashing transmission temp, ABS light and traction control light. The fault decode was P1710, “turbine speed 2 sensor”. 99.9% of the time the car drove very smoothly.

Research on forums and other online info I was able to determine the fault. The sensor is  a HALL effect transducer incorporating a transistor and from experience transistors do not like getting hot. Given that these symptoms were occurring under hard acceleration and on inclines I deduced that the sensor was being overheated by transmission oil, reducing the oil level seemed to stop the fault codes but hard shifting still occurred.

Subaru’s Fix was a new valve body at $3300. This is a known fault and Subaru has subsequently modified the valve body.

I removed the valve body, detached the sensor as seen in below photo.

 

I then purchased a generic Hall effect 12mm sensor SENSPD500 from MSEL in Marua road, Pamure. I mounted it at the same height and position as the original sensor as per the photo below. To date, 3 months in, the car drives sweet, no hard shifts, no fault codes.
