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. This fault is handled inside the transmission control module and no external circuits are involved. The transmission control module is part of the control solenoid valve assembly, and is not serviced separately.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The control solenoid 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 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The control solenoid valve assembly has detected an internal malfunction.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTC P16F7 is a Type A DTC.

* The transmission control module 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 transmission control module 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 transmission control module shutdown. Program the transmission control module with the latest software version and retest the DTC to see if the DTC resets.

* This DTC can be falsely set by commanding pressure control solenoid valves 2 and 3 On with a scan tool. Do not attempt to diagnose if DTC P16F7 is set due to commanding pressure control solenoid valves 2 and 3 On with a scan tool.
