P016E Trouble Code

View P016E obd/2 error code description and symptoms. P016E engine photo

The Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch allows the engine's control module (PCM) or Transmission Control Module (TCM) to use hydraulic fluid to engage the clutches in the transmission to allow for smoother shifting while driving. If the PCM or TCM detects an issue with the hydraulic clutch or the pressure switch, the PCM or TCM will set code P016E

Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code P016E, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir. Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code P016E on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.

P016E Error Code Repair Process :

If your vehicle failed a P016E test and the P016E Check Engine Light is NOT on, chances are you have a problem with the OBDII system, a burned out MIL lamp, or a faulty catalytic converter. The converter is essentially an afterburner that cleans up the exhaust after it exits the engine. The OBDII system uses transmission over temperature condition a ownstream oxygen sensor to monitor the efficiency of the converter, and it should detect a drop in converter efficiency if the converter has been contaminated or is failing (ignition misfiring, leaky exhaust valves, and oil burning can all damage the converter). What you want to look transmission over temperature condition: Any conditions that might cause ignition misfire, an overly rich or lean fuel condition, or loss of compression. Use your OBD Express DIY to look at the oxygen sensor outputs, coolant temperature, airflow, calculated engine load, and inlet air temperature.

P016E is a kind of Powertrain Trouble Code

Powertrain of a modern automobile, comprising engine (with exhaust system), transmission, drive shaft, suspension and the wheels. In a motor vehicle, the term powertrain or powerplant describes the main components that generate power and deliver it to the road surface, water, or air.

Common Causes of P016E

A common cause of code P016E is the failure of Transmission Over Temperature Condition, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

Continuous oil flow to the VCT piston chamber
Dirty Oil
Faulty Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1
Oil flow restriction in the oil passages or the VCT valve body
