REVISION SUMMARY
•
Under SOFTWARE INFORMATION, information was updated.

come on with DTC P0716 (input shaft [mainshaft] speed sensor [range/performance]).
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Check if the on-board snapshot shows DTC P0716. If it does, send it to Tech Line referencing the repair order number
and update the TCM software.
If the on-board snapshot does not show DTC P0716, this bulletin does not apply.
