DTC P0716 Input Speed Sensor Circuit Range/Performance (Gas [2 Of 2]):

Input Speed Sensor Circuit (Gas):

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Input Shaft Speed Sensor consists of a permanent magnet surrounded by a coil of wire. The rotation of the forward housing induces an AC voltage in the circuit. The signal voltage and frequency vary directly with the forward clutch rotational speed.

When the Vehicle Control Module (VCM) detects an unrealistically large change in input speed, then DTC P0716 sets. DTC P0716 is a type D DTC. For California emissions vehicles, DTC P0716 is a type B DTC.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC

1. No Throttle Position (TP) Sensor DTC P0122 or P0123.
2. No Input Speed (ISS) Sensor P0717.
3. No Output Speed (OSS) Sensor DTC P0502 or P0503.
4. No Shift Solenoid DTC P0751 or P0753.
5. The throttle position is greater than 18%.
6. The vehicle speed is greater than 20 mph.
7. The transmission is not in Park or Neutral.
8. The engine is running for 5 seconds and not in fuel cut off.
9. The input speed varies by 1300 RPM for greater than 1.5 seconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS

^ The VCM commands D2 line pressure.
^ The VCM freezes shift adapts.
^ For California emissions only, the VCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE DTC

1. For California emissions vehicles, the VCM turns OFF the MIL after three consecutive ignition cycles without a failure reported.
2. A scan tool can clear the DTC from the VCM history. The VCM clears the DTC from the VCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a failure reported.
3. The VCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition is OFF long enough in order to power down the VCM.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

^ Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the VCM. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the transmission 2O-way connector. Look for the following conditions:

- A bent terminal.
- A backed out terminal.
- A damaged terminal.
- Poor terminal tension.
- A chafed wire.
- A broken wire inside the insulation.

^ When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open condition, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change.
^ First diagnose and clear any engine DTCs or TP Sensor codes that are present. Then inspect for any transmission DTCs that may have reset.

TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic chart.

2. Step 2 tests for proper operation to the Input Shaft Speed Sensor.
5. Step 5 tests for proper circuit operation up to the VCM connections.
