Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The automatic transmission input shaft speed sensor (AT ISS) is a permanent magnet generator. The AT ISS mounts in the transmission case facing the drive sprocket of the input shaft. As the drive sprocket rotates, an AC voltage is induced and transmitted to the transmission control module (TCM). The TCM converts the AC voltage into a digital signal. The TCM uses the input shaft speed signal to determine shift timing, torque converter clutch slip speed and gear ratio.
If the TCM detects an unrealistic change in RPM from the AT ISS, then DTC P0716 sets. DTC P0716 is a type B DTC.
