P0792 — Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance
The intermediate shaft speed sensor (between input and output, used in CVT and dual-clutch boxes for slip detection between gear elements) is electrically intact, but its readings drift away from the model. The TCM cannot reliably detect slip in this stage.
General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.
