SMU - Revised DTC Tables for P0716 and P0717 (Section 7 - Auto Trans)

Subject:Revised DTC Tables for P0716 and P0717 (Section 7 Automatic Transmission)

Models:1998-2000 Chevrolet and GMC C/K Models and G Van
with Hydra-Matic 4L80-E Automatic Transmission (RPO MT1)



This bulletin is being issued to revise the tables for DTC's P0716 and P0717 in the Automatic Transmission 4L80-E Section of the Service Manual. The new tables improve the diagnosis of a short to ground on circuit 1230. Make note of the changes in your Service Manual.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. This step tests for proper operation to the A/T ISS Sensor.

  2. This step tests for proper A/T ISS circuit operation up to the VCM connections. Remove the fuel pump relay in order to eliminate a flooding condition during this step.
