WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 RAM 3500 HD and 2014 RAM 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CHECK TO SEE IF DTC P0716 IS CURRENT
1. Start the engine in park.
2. With the scan tool, monitor the Input Speed Sensor RPM.
  Is the Input Speed Sensor RPM below 400 RPM?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2
  No
  - Go To 9
INPUT SPEED SENSOR
1. Turn the ignition OFF to the LOCK position.
2. Remove the Ignition Switch Feed fuse from the TIPM.
  CAUTION:
  Removal of the Ignition Switch Feed fuse from the TIPM will prevent the vehicle from being started in gear.
  
  WARNING:
  The Ignition Switch Feed fuse must be removed from the TIPM. Failure to do so can result in possible serious or fatal injury.
3. Install the (special tool #8333B, Simulator, Transmission).
4. Ignition ON, Engine Not Running.
5. With the Transmission Simulator, set the selector switch to 3000/1000 and the Input/Output switch to ON.
6. With the scan tool, monitor the Input and Output Speed Sensor RPM.
  Does the Input speed read 3, 000 RPM and the Output speed read 1, 000 RPM ± 50 RPM?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Input Speed Sensor in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the 66RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to the 66RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 3
(T52) INPUT SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE

1. Turn the ignition OFF to the LOCK position.
2. Disconnect the PCM C4 harness connector and connect the (special tool #8815A, Kit, NGC, 38 Position).
  NOTE:
  Make sure to leave the Speed Sensor, Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly, and Line Pressure Sensor harness connectors disconnected.
  
  CAUTION:
  Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the Miller tool 8815A to perform diagnosis.
3. Ignition ON, Engine Not Running.
4. With the scan tool in TIPM, actuate the TCM output.
5. Measure the voltage of the (T52) Input Speed Sensor Signal circuit.
  Is the voltage above 0.5 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T52) Input Speed Sensor Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the 66RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to the 66RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 4
(T13) SPEED SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE

1. With the scan tool in TIPM, actuate the TCM output.
2. Measure the voltage of the (T13) Speed Sensor Ground circuit.
  Is the voltage above 0.5 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T13) Speed Sensor Ground circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the 66RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to the 66RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 5
(T52) INPUT SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN

1. With the scan tool in TIPM, stop the actuation the TCM output.
2. Turn the ignition OFF to the LOCK position.
3. Measure the resistance of the (T52) Input Speed Sensor Signal circuit between the Input Speed Sensor harness connector and the appropriate terminal of the (special tool #8815A, Kit, NGC, 38 Position).
  Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T52) Input Speed Sensor Signal circuit for an open.
  - Perform the 66RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to the 66RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 6
(T13) SPEED SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN

1. Measure the resistance of the (T13) Speed Sensor Ground circuit between the Input Speed Sensor harness connector and the appropriate terminal of the (special tool #8815A, Kit, NGC, 38 Position).
  Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T13) Speed Sensor Ground circuit for an open.
  - Perform the 66RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to the 66RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 7
(T52) INPUT SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND

Fig 5: Checking Input Speed Sensor Signal Circuit
Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC
1. Measure the resistance between ground and the Input Speed Sensor Signal circuit.
  Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T52) Input Speed Sensor Signal circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform the 66RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to the 66RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 8
(T13) SPEED SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

Fig 6: Checking Speed Sensor Ground Circuit
Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC
1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (T13) Speed Sensor Ground circuit.
  Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T13) Speed Sensor Ground circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform the 66RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to the 66RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Using the schematics as a guide, check the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) terminals for corrosion, damage or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. If no problems are found, replace and program the PCM in accordance with the Service Information. With the scan tool, perform a Quick Learn.
  - Perform the 66RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to the 66RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS
