Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Journey and 2015 Dodge Journey. 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.
2. Place the shift lever in park.
3. With the scan tool, read the Input Speed Sensor rpm.
  Is the Input Speed Sensor reading below 400 rpm?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2
  No
  - Go To 8
CHECK THE PCM AND WIRING WITH THE TRANSMISSION SIMULATOR
1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Remove the Starter Relay.
  CAUTION:
  Removal of the Starter Relay will prevent the vehicle from being started in gear.
  
  WARNING:
  The Starter Relay must be removed from the PDC. Failure to do so may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
  
  NOTE:
  Failure to remove the Starter Relay can cause a Transmission - No Response condition.
3. Install the (special tool #8333B, Simulator, Transmission) and the Electronic Transmission Adapter kit.
4. Ignition on, engine not running.
5. With the Transmission Simulator, set the "Input/Output Speed" switch to "ON" and the rotary switch to the "3000/1250" position.
6. With the scan tool, read the Input and Output rpm.
  Does the Input speed read 3000 rpm and the Output speed read 1250 rpm ± 50 rpm?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Input Speed Sensor in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to SENSOR, SPEED, INPUT, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 40/41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 3
CHECK THE (T52) INPUT SPEED SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the (special tool #8333B, Simulator, Transmission) and the Electronic Transmission Adapter kit.
3. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
4. Disconnect the Input Speed Sensor harness connector.
5. Measure the resistance of the (T52) Input Speed Signal circuit between the PCM C1 harness connector and the Input Speed Sensor harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T52) Input Speed Signal circuit for an open.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 40/41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 4
CHECK THE (T13) SPEED SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

1. Measure the resistance of the (T13) Speed Sensor Ground circuit between the PCM C1 harness connector and the Input Speed Sensor harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T13) Speed Sensor Ground circuit for an open.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 40/41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 5
CHECK THE (T52) INPUT SPEED SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (T52) Input Speed Signal circuit.
  Is the resistance Below 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T52) Input Speed Signal circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 40/41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 6
CHECK THE (T52) INPUT SPEED SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

1. Disconnect the Output Speed Sensor harness connector.
2. Remove the PCM/TCM relay and with a fused jumper wire, jumper the transmission control output to B(+).
3. Ignition on, engine not running.
4. Measure the voltage of the (T52) Input Speed Signal circuit.
  Is the voltage above 0.5 of volt?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T52) Input Speed Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 40/41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 7
CHECK THE (T13) SPEED SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

NOTE:
Fused Jumper must still be in place.
1. Measure the voltage of the (T13) Speed Sensor Ground circuit.
  Is the voltage above 0.5 of a volts?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T13) Speed Sensor Ground circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 40/41TE 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. Check for Service Information Tune-ups or Service Bulletins for any possible causes that may apply. If no problems are found, replace and program the PCM in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL, REMOVAL . With the scan tool, perform Quick Learn.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 40/41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTORS
1. The conditions necessary to set the DTC are not present at this time.
2. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit.
3. Wiggle the wiring and connectors while checking for shorted and open circuits.
4. With the scan tool, check the Event Data to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.
5. Check for Service Information Tune-ups or Service Bulletins for any possible causes that may apply.
  Were there any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 40/41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Test Complete.
