DTC P2016: Notes

DTC P2016 DETECTION & CONDITION POSSIBLE CAUSES

DTC P2016 APV position sensor circuit low input
DETECTION CONDITION 
  • The PCM monitors the input voltage from the APV position sensor when the engine is running. If the input voltage is less than 0.2 V  , the PCM determines that the APV position sensor circuit input voltage is low.

Diagnostic support note 
  • This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
  • The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
  • PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
  • The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • APV position sensor malfunction
  • Connector or terminal malfunction
  • Open circuit in wiring harness between APV motor terminal E and PCM terminal 1S
  • Short to ground in wiring harness between APV motor terminal E and PCM terminal 1S
  • Open circuit in wiring harness between APV motor terminal A and PCM terminal 3B
  • Short to ground in wiring harness between APV motor terminal A and PCM terminal 3B
