P0716 Input/Turbine Speed Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance

Transmission

P0716 means the transmission input speed sensor's signal is erratic or doesn't match other speeds.

The input speed sensor's signal is there but doesn't make sense compared with engine and output speed, or it drops out.

Can I keep driving? Yes, but get it fixed soon.

Drive gently; shifts may be erratic or the transmission may go into limp mode. Get it checked soon.

Common causes

  1. A failing input speed sensor
  2. Wiring interference or a poor connection
  3. Low or burnt fluid
  4. Internal slipping

Symptoms

  • Erratic shifting
  • Limp mode
  • Check-engine light

What to check first

  1. Check fluid level and condition.
  2. Inspect the sensor wiring and connector.
  3. Compare input, output and engine speed readings with a scan tool.
  4. Replace the sensor if its signal drops out.
