What Does Code P1708 Mean? DTC P1708 signifies an electrical malfunction within the Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch circuit. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM), or Engine Control Module (ECM) in some vehicle architectures, continuously monitors the voltage signals from the CPP switch to determine the clutch pedal’s position. This switch serves multiple critical functions, including […]

What Does Code P1709 Mean? DTC P1709 signifies that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), or Transmission Control Module (TCM) in some applications, has detected an inconsistency or an irrational signal from the Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch, also commonly referred to as the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS), during a self-test or diagnostic monitoring routine. The PNP […]

What Does Code P1711 Mean? The diagnostic trouble code P1711 signifies that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Transmission Control Module (TCM) has detected an anomaly with the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor circuit, specifically indicating that the sensor’s signal is “Out Of Self Test Range.” This means that during a programmed diagnostic self-test, the […]

What Does Code P1712 Mean? DTC P1712 signifies a Transmission Torque Reduction Request Signal Malfunction. This code indicates that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), which often integrates or communicates directly with the Engine Control Module (ECM), has detected an anomaly in the signal pathway responsible for communicating the transmission’s request for engine torque reduction. Modern […]

What Does Code P1713 Mean? The diagnostic trouble code P1713, “TFT Sensor In Range Failure Low Value,” indicates that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Transmission Control Module (TCM) has detected an anomaly with the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor’s signal. Specifically, the PCM/TCM is receiving a signal from the TFT sensor that, while technically […]

What Does Code P1714 Mean? DTC P1714 signifies an SSA Inductive Signature Malfunction within the vehicle’s automatic transmission system. This code is specifically monitored by the Transmission Control Module (TCM), or in some integrated systems, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The SSA (Shift Solenoid A) is a crucial component responsible for controlling hydraulic fluid flow […]

What Does Code P1715 Mean? The diagnostic trouble code P1715, identified as a “SSB Inductive Signature Malfunction,” is a manufacturer-specific code typically indicating an issue within the transmission system, specifically relating to a speed sensor utilizing inductive technology. While “SSB” can be proprietary to certain automakers, it commonly refers to a Secondary Shaft Speed Sensor […]

What Does Code P1716 Mean? DTC P1716 signifies an Inductive Signature Malfunction within a specific speed sensor circuit, often designated as “SSC” by some manufacturers, particularly those related to transmission control systems. This code indicates that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Transmission Control Module (TCM) has detected an irregular or implausible signal characteristic from […]

What Does Code P1717 Mean? DTC P1717, indicating an “SSD Inductive Signature Malfunction,” is a manufacturer-specific powertrain diagnostic trouble code. In this context, “SSD” most likely refers to a Shift Solenoid Drive or Specific Speed/Stroke Detector inductive sensor, typically located within the automatic transmission. This sensor is crucial for the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or […]

What Does Code P1718 Mean? DTC P1718 signifies an “In Range Failure High” condition for the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor. This code indicates that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), or Transmission Control Module (TCM) in some applications, is receiving an input signal from the TFT sensor that suggests an abnormally high transmission fluid temperature.
