Problem verification:

Problem verification
?1.
Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

?2.
Clear the DTC with the HDS.


?3.
Raise the vehicle on a lift. Make sure it is securely supported, and allow the front wheels to rotate freely.

?4.
Start the engine.

?5.
Enter the VSA maintenance mode.

?6.

Is DTC P0716 indicated?

     
YES
     
     
     
The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.
     
NO
     
     
     
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals between the torque converter turbine speed sensor and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.?
2.
Torque converter turbine speed sensor check:

Torque converter turbine speed sensor check
?1.
Rotate the front wheels with the shift lever in D, while monitoring the Torque Converter Turbine Speed rpm and the Input Shaft (Drive Pulley) Speed rpm in the Data List with the HDS.

?2.
Compare the parameters below with the HDS.

Are the speeds about the same?

     
YES
     
     
     
The torque converter turbine speed sensor is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or replace the original PCM.?
     
NO
