P0716 — Input / turbine speed sensor G182 — implausible signal
Reference detail for fault code P0716 on the DQ250 DSG transmission family.
What P0716 indicates
The DQ250 transmission control unit stores P0716 when it detects the following condition: Input / turbine speed sensor G182 — implausible signal. The fault concerns a speed signal. The control unit needs the input (clutch/turbine) and output shaft speeds to control shifts and clutch slip, and stores the code when a signal is missing, implausible or electrically faulty. A stored code does not by itself prove that a part has failed. Before replacing anything, check the live data, wiring, connectors, power supply and fluid condition, and confirm the fault on the vehicle.
Symptoms
- Harsh or badly timed shifts
- Emergency mode
- Incorrect gear or speed display
- Transmission warning light
Possible causes
- Faulty speed sensor in the mechatronic unit
- Wiring or connector fault
- Metal debris on the sensor or sender wheel
- Fault in the control electronics
