Hi all,

Long time fan of this board.

I'm posting from the sunny shores of Australia and welcome any help!

I recently noticed that on start the engine malfunction light is appearing on my Honda Jazz 2005 Auto 1.5L.

This is when all of the fun begins... the sequence is as follows:

1. Start car and engine malfunction light is on
2. Move from Park to Drive, 10-15s lag and some slight jerking with RPM going up and down.
3. In most circumstances the car successfully changes to Drive and I'm off. Although I can certainly notice that the car has sluggish performance.
4. On other occasions I'll need to try this process 3-4 times to get the car to go into Drive

After having enough of the above issue I borrowed and OB today and received the P0715 Speed Sensor Error.

I'd welcome any recommendations on what to do next...

The speed sensor on the manual is on the top of the clutch housing. I assume that the auto will be somewhere similar. Check the connection on top is clean and tight. If that is okay a replacement sensor is available. Check eBay.
Don't get confused with the wheel sensors, it is an rpm sensor you require.

Issues with the sensor its self or with wiring back to ECU perhaps, possibly a build up of metallic debris on the magnetic sensor?

CVT Drive speed sensor located on the front of the box, presuming by auto you mean CVT?
