Circuit/System Description
The input speed sensor (ISS) is a hall-effect type sensor. The ISS mounts to the control valve upper body assembly and connects to the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly through a wire harness and connector. The sensor faces the 1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R clutch housing machined teeth surface. The sensor receives 8.3-9.3 volts on the input/output speed sensor (ISS/OSS) Supply Voltage circuit from the transmission control module (TCM). As the 1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R clutch housing rotates, the sensor produces a signal frequency based on the machined surface of the 1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R clutch housing. This signal is transmitted through the ISS signal circuit to the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly. The control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly uses the ISS signal to determine line pressure, transmission shift patterns, torque converter clutch (TCC) slip speed and gear ratio.
Conditions for Running the DTC
P0716
| • | DTC P0716 is not set. |
| • | Start the ignition voltage, run the engine. |
| • | The engine torque is between 0 and 1492 N·m (0 and 1,100 lb ft) |
| • | The TP angle provided by the ECM is valid, greater than or equal to 0%. |
| • | DTCs P0717, P0722 or P0723 are not set. |
| • | The vehicle speed is equal or greater than 0 km/h. |
P0717
| • | No DTC P0722 or P0723. |
| • | DTC P0717 is not set. |
| • | Start the ignition voltage, run the engine. |
| • | The vehicle speed is greater than or equal to 16 km/h (10 mph). |
| • | The engine torques is equal to or greater than 50 N·m (37 lb ft). |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0716
| • | Transmission input speed varies is between 0 and 327 RPM for 2 seconds. |
| • | Transmission input speed greater than or equal to 686 RPM for 2 seconds. |
| • | Transmission input speed drops 653 RPM for greater than 0.80 second and does not recover. |
| • | The above condition is present for 3.25 seconds |
P0717
Transmission input shaft speed is less than 65 RPM for 4.5 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | P0716 and P0717 are Type A DTCs. |
| • | The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions. |
| • | The TCM turns OFF all solenoids. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
P0716 and P0717 are Type A DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the ISS, harness, connector, and control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly pins for metallic debris and the 1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R clutch housing machined teeth surface for damage or misalignment. Proper torque of the OSS mounting bolt is critical to proper OSS operation. Use the J 35616 GM-approved terminal test kit for any test that requires probing the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly harness connector or a component harness connector.

Circuit/System Verification
Start the engine in Park and observe the transmission ISS on the scan tool while varying the engine speed. The transmission ISS should vary with the engine speed and not drop out.
Circuit/System Testing
- With the ignition ON, observe the transmission ISS/OSS supply voltage circuit status on the scan tool, the parameter should display OK.
- Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Input Shaft Speed/Output Shaft Speed Input Test. The scan tool should display Transmission ISS between 100-400 RPM.
| ⇒ | If the circuit status does not display OK, disconnect the ISS/OSS connector from the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly and recheck the scan tool display. |
| ⇒ | If the transmission ISS/OSS supply voltage circuit status still displays OK, visually inspect the ISS, harness, connector, the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly pins for metallic debris and 1-2-3-4 and 3-5-R clutch housing machined teeth surface for damage or misalignment. Repair or replace any damaged components. |
| ⇒ | If 100-400 RPM ISS RPM is displayed, replace the ISS/OSS assembly. |
| ⇒ | If no ISS RPM is displayed or the RPM is out of range, replace the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly. |
Component Testing
Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Input Shaft Speed/Output Shaft Speed Input Test.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
| • | Control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly--refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. |
