P0716 on Buick
Input/Turbine Speed Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance
P0716 on Buick vehicles indicates input/turbine speed sensor "a" circuit range/performance. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Buick model — most commonly on Enclave. 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.
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 Buick by Model
Buick Enclave(1 issue)
- 3-5-Reverse Clutch Wave Plate Can Fracture (Special Coverage 14404)2008-2009
GM identifies some 2008-2009 Buick Enclave vehicles equipped with a 6T70/6T75 six-speed automatic transmission in which the 3-5-reverse clutch wave plate can crack or fracture. The documented result is loss of reverse, 3rd and 5th gears; drivers may also notice slip, flare or harsh shifts and a check-engine light.

What does P0716 mean on Buick?▼
P0716 stands for "Input/Turbine Speed Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance." 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. On Buick specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
