P0716 on Chevrolet
Input/Turbine Speed Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance
P0716 on Chevrolet vehicles indicates input/turbine speed sensor "a" circuit range/performance. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Chevrolet model — most commonly on Equinox. This code means the input/turbine speed sensor is producing a reading that is out of the expected range or is inconsistent with other data. This sensor tells the transmission control module how fast the transmission input shaft (turbine) is turning, which is used to calculate gear ratios and time shifts. An erratic or out-of-range signal can cause harsh shifting, incorrect shift timing, or the transmission entering limp mode. It is often caused by sensor, wiring, or fluid issues. Typical repair costs on Chevrolet range from $1,800 to $4,000, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0716
- •Faulty input/turbine speed sensor
- •Low or dirty transmission fluid
- •Damaged sensor wiring or connector
- •Metal debris on the sensor tip
- •Internal transmission wear affecting the signal
- •Faulty transmission control module
P0716 on Chevrolet by Model
Chevrolet Equinox(1 issue)
- 6T70/6T75 transmission shudder, hard shifts & 3-5-reverse wave plate failure2010-2017
Equinox models with the GM 6T70/6T75 six-speed automatic suffer shudder, harsh or delayed shifts, slipping, and loss of reverse. A common root cause is failure of the 3-5-reverse wave plate, which can crack and cause extreme shudder when reverse is engaged and eventual loss of drive. Overheated/degraded fluid that loses viscosity accelerates internal wear. Failures typically appear between roughly 60,000 and 150,000 miles. Owners report bucking when engaging gear, failure to shift out of 2nd, and inability to engage reverse.
