DTC P1716

DTC P1716:  Transmission Park Position Sensor/Switch A/B Short

General Description 

GHH416833Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

The SBW shifter control module in the SBW shifter assembly judges the parking position by the output voltage from the park position sensor. The SBW shifter control module compares the values between the park position sensor 1 output voltage and the park position sensor 2 output voltage, if the difference of the compared value continues to be at a specified value or more for a certain period of time or more, the powertrain control module (PCM) receives malfunction from the SBW shifter control module, and stores a DTC.

Sequence None
Duration 2.12 seconds or more
DTC Type One drive cycle, MIL on, Shift position indicator blinks

Enable Conditions 

Condition  
Vehicle ON mode

Malfunction Threshold 

The difference of the park position sensor 1 output voltage [Parking Sensor 1 voltage] and the park position sensor 2 output voltage [Parking Sensor 2 voltage] is -0.078 V or more, or 0.078 V or less for at least 2.12 seconds.

Possible Cause 

NOTE: The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
  • Park position sensor PARKSENSOR1 line short to park position sensor PARKSEN2 line
  • Park position sensor internal failure
  • SBW shifter assembly internal failure

Confirmation Procedure 

Operating Condition 

Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, and wait for at least 10 seconds.

With the HDS 

None.

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for setting the DTC 

When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on, the shift position indicator blinks and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the PCM memory.

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The shift position indicator comes off by turning the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode. The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the 12 volt battery.
