PINPOINT TEST D: DTCs P0815, P0816 (PADDLE SHIFT)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

D1 READ AND RECORD ALL DTCs
- Ignition ON.
- Connect the scan tool.
- Using a scan tool, retrieve DTCs.
Is DTC P0815 set?
- Yes : CLEAR the DTC. RUN the KOEO self-test. If the DTC P0815 returns, GO to D2 .
- No : CLEAR the DTC. RUN the KOEO self-test. If the DTC P0816 returns, GO to D6.

D2 CHECK THE UPSHIFT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE
