    Did some brief digging. Looks like a conventional code that on most Toyota's points to a speed sensor.

    Wheel speed sensor?
    Vehicle speed sensor?
    Engine speed sensor?

    I don't know. I just google searched some other Toyota forums since most of the codes are generic.

    That’s what I’ve been doing. Trying to get an answer as to where the turbine sensor is located. Guy at dealer thinks may be internal. If it is I’m screwed. Still waiting for call back.

    It should be visible. More simple google digging points to a speed sensor on the transmission somewhere. Use google, Youtube, or wait for someone to chime in who has also had this exact problem.

    Havent really been under a tundra before but sounds/looks like a sensor near bellhousing that takes a read off inputshaft or tourqe converter. Acts like a magnetic pick up sensor, sensor may have gone bad itself causing a no signal code

    I’ve tried YouTube and google can’t get an answer but dealer called back and told me it’s located on top of transmission but kept insisting I bring it in for diagnostic

    Sensor went south. Change it out, clear code, and drive.

    Dodge/Jeeps/7.3 PSD ate crankshaft position sensors. Might be fun to get to like on Jeeps.

    Ome of the components inside a tourqe comverter is called a turbine and it is also monitored by sensors and such. That fact that it is giving a code for no signal at the sensor makes no sense im sure that turbine is spinning (bolted to flexplate and locked into pump on the front of trans) my guess is bad sensor. 2014 truck shouldnt havhave a wiring problem already. Im sure its located on side or top of trans case at the fromt of case.

    I haven’t noticed any difference in performance of my truck. Still runs like a beast. Just don’t wanna spend an unnecessary amount of money at dealer

    You probably wont if anything you may notice a difference in shift points. That is just a sensor issue the rest of the components i mentioned are mechanical the sensor just monitors ot but the light is a bother and you dont want to cause issues id just throw a mew sensor in it and call it a day. Can't be too much of a pain, probably held in by a 10mm and a O-ring

    As far as this code.. Just popped up on my 2012 Tundra.. I have the extended warranty on the truck and take it in this week.. The only mod I have on it is a BAM 8inch exhaust system.. Is there a correlation between the change of exhaust and Turbine/Input Shaft speed sensor A Circuit (no signal)? I m hoping Toyota covers this claim.. Thanks in advance guys! Sorry for the double post in another thread

    P0717 NO SIGNAL OF TURBINE SPEED SENSOR A.Code ! DO NOT BUY THE AMAZHON IN PUT SPEED SENSOR even it's cheap 21 Canadian dollars, END WITH THE WRONG PARTS CAN NOT BE INSTALLED! EVEN IT SAY IT FIT YOUR 2014 TUNDRA .Today in Toronto the weather is very good, I tried to installed the parts which is above the coolant pump ( I guess , I saw two black coolant hose goes there) , the job is not that hard if you don't have a huge hand. I used flexible head rachet 10'mm, and spend some time to clean the bolt, the job was not that hard to do, I use a long screw driver to take out the sensor (a little bite to the transmission body) I had check resistance read 667 om, looks good, compared with Amazon it read 670 om, but Amazon sensor the fastening is a straight line one ,it would not fit , the original Toyota had 45 degree. The hardness connector not long enough to reach there, if you want use this parts you had do cut the connector to extend the wire in this way you can connect, I did not do this way , because I love this truck, I reset the code and drive to Don Valley Toyota , the check engine light went on after 3 KM, I had paid 235.00 for the QEM parts had do wait above a week, I will update what happen after I stalled the new parts.
