DTC P16F7

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provides an overview of each diagnostic category.



DTC Descriptor
DTC P16F7
- Control Module Pressure Control Solenoid Command Incorrect




Circuit/System Description

This is an internal fault detection of the transmission control module (TCM). This fault is handled inside the TCM and no external circuits are involved. The TCM is part of the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly, and is not serviced separately.


Conditions for Running the DTC

* The control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly runs the program to detect an internal fault when the key is ON or the engine is running.
* Ignition voltage is 8-18 volts.



Conditions for Setting the DTC

The control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly has detected an internal malfunction.


Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTC P16F7 is a Type A DTC.
* The TCM shifts to a default gear, shuts down, and turns OFF.



Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P16F7 is a Type A DTC


Diagnostic Aids

When attempting to set TCM internal DTCs, run the engine for at least 1 minute, and then shut the engine off for 30 seconds. Following this procedure will allow for a complete TCM shutdown. Program the TCM with the latest software version and retest the DTC to see if the DTC resets.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Start the engine.
2. Let the engine run for 1 minute, then turn the key OFF for 30 seconds.
3. Retest for DTC P16F7.



Circuit/System Testing

Program the TCM with the latest software version and retest for DTCs.

If the DTC resets, replace the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly.



Component Testing

Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection (Control Solenoid Valve and TCM Assembly Solenoid Performance Test) .


Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
