P2784 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for "Input/Turbine Speed Sensor A/B Correlation". This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation. Our certified mobile mechanics can come to your home or office to perform the Check Engine Light diagnostic for $154.99 . Once we are able to diagnose the problem, you will be provided with an upfront quote for the recommended fix and receive $50.0 off as a credit towards the repair.

The P2784 code identifies an issue with the input signal from the turbine speed sensor to the PCM.
The P2784 code is an indication that the engine turbine speed sensor is sending an input signal to your PCM (powertrain control module) that is incorrect. The majority of PCMs have been programmed to expect a gradual increase in input speed. After enough of an increase, the transmission will shift up in gear. When that increase is erratic or unusual, the PCM cannot effectively identify a proper shift point, and the P2784 code will be indicated.
The incorrect turbine speed code may have several causes:
Incorrect or unusual input speed signals are most often caused by defective turbine speed sensors (either input or output)
defective shift solenoids
defective engine temperature sensors
dirty, mixed, or otherwise incorrect transmission fluid
failure with the PCM is a much rarer cause
The most common symptoms of the P2784 code include issues with or failure of shifting, poorly operating speedometers, and engine stalling upon breaking or bringing the vehicle to a full stop. Less common symptoms of this code also include decreased fuel economy, misfiring of the engine, and occasionally an illuminated Check Engine Light.
A P2784 code can be diagnosed by a qualified mechanic technician using a code reader, such as a OBD-II scanner. Before checking the vehicle’s turbine speed sensor, a mechanic should first identify any damaged or corroded wiring in the engine bay and replace before further investigation.
A mechanic should then locate the speed sensor, which can be found either in the transmission housing or mounted to the housing exterior depending on the vehicle’s make and model, and check for any visible damage. Then, all OBD-II codes should be cleared and a test drive should be performed, after which a qualified mechanic will check to see if the P2784 code reappeared.
Properly diagnosing the P2784 code can be difficult. Symptoms of the P2784 code are often mistaken for…
These misdiagnoses have been reported to lead to unnecessary turbine speed sensor replacement.
If the symptoms of the P2784 code in the vehicle include engine stalling or shifting malfunctions, the vehicle is potentially not safe to drive and therefore should be diagnosed by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible. Since symptoms of this code also include a decrease in fuel economy, it’s best to have the vehicle looked at by a technician as soon as possible regardless of the noticeable symptoms.
Once the vehicle is examined and diagnosed by a qualified mechanic, replacement parts for your vehicle may be necessary. The most common potential repairs to fix the P2784 engine trouble code include:
Since the P2784 code has a number of possible causes, the problem should be thoroughly investigated and properly diagnosed before any parts are repaired or replaced.
