MVB 4 Speed - Automatic Transmission

DTC P2716

Circuit Description

The shift solenoid valve (SLT) controls the transmission line pressure for smooth transmission operation based on signals from the throttle position sensor and the vehicle speed sensor. The engine control module (ECM) adjusts the duty cycle of the SLT solenoid valve to control hydraulic line pressure coming from the primary regulator valve. Appropriate line pressure assures smooth shifting with varying engine outputs.

When an open or short in the linear solenoid valve (SLT) is detected, the ECM interprets this as a fault. The ECM will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P2716 Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SLT)

Conditions for Running the DTC

The engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SLT circuit.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTC P2716 is a type C DTC.
* The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminates the first time the diagnostic runs with the fault active.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The DTC will clear when conditions for setting the DTC have been repaired.
