Hello there!

I have a 2017 Honda Civic EX Sedan with the 2.0L K20C2.

Vehicle recently went into limp mode and shows P0717 (CVT Input Shaft (Drive Pulley) Speed Sensor Circuit No Signal Input) as a permanent code as well as a P0796 (Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Performance/Stuck Off) and a U0402 (Invalid Data Received From TCM)

Tested all wires (the ones that go to the TCM connector anyway) from all 4 of the sensors on the transmission for continuity and they were okay.
Tested all 3 of the grounds on the transmission harness for continuity as well and they were also okay.

Tested the transmission grounds from the transmission harness to the engine harness ground for continuity and they were okay.

Already went ahead and replaced the CVT Drive Pulley Speed Sensor (28810-5DJ-004) and no luck.

I've seen others with the same issues and instead of replacing the sensor I replaced, they replaced the sensor next to it which is the Torque Converter Turbine Speed Sensor (28820-RJ2-003) in order to fix the problem. But before I go buying another sensor I'd like to try and diagnose first.

I don't have access to live data so I'm trying to pull a signal using my multimeter for testing.

Does anyone know which wire on the sensor connector is the signal wire? I'd like to test that since the code is for no signal.

Also, any input would be appreciated.

Welp, I just resolved my issue this morning.

I took some time to diagnose the issue. Even though I was getting a P0717 (CVT Input Shaft (Drive Pulley) Speed Sensor Circuit No Signal Input) the issue was in fact NOT the Drive Pulley Speed Sensor.

Instead, after probing the connectors of all the speed sensors and testing with the multimeter, it turns out the sensor that was two inches away from the Drive Pulley Speed Sensor, the Torque Converter Turbine Speed Sensor, was the one that failed.

I would suggest checking live data of each speed sensor if you have access to it before just replacing sensors. If not, try using a multimeter the way I did.

Hope this helps others.
