PL2 516397.05 – Park Lock Solenoid 1 (DirectDrive Transmission), Current Too Low

PL2 516397.05 (PL2 )

Code: 516397.05

Shortcode:

Description:

This diagnostic trouble code is generated if the control software detects that the current value at the Park Lock Solenoid 1 in the DirectDrive Transmission is too low. This may indicate an open circuit or other issues affecting the current flow.

Reaction:

When this error occurs, the park lock functionality may be compromised, potentially preventing the equipment from being securely locked in place when parked.

Recommendations:

  • Inspect Solenoid Wiring:
    • Check for any visible signs of damage, wear, or disconnection in the solenoid wiring.
    • Ensure all connections are secure and free of corrosion.
  • Test Solenoid Function:
    • Use a multimeter to measure the current at the solenoid and verify it is within the specified range.
    • Replace the solenoid if it is not functioning correctly.
  • Check for Open Circuits:
    • Inspect the wiring for any open circuits that could be causing the low current issue.
    • Repair or replace any damaged wiring as necessary.
  • Verify Power Supply:
    • Ensure that the power supply to the solenoid is stable and providing the correct voltage.
    • Check for any issues with the power source or connections.

Note:

  • Regular inspection and maintenance of the solenoid and its wiring can prevent current-related issues.
  • Ensure that environmental factors, such as moisture or debris, are not affecting the solenoid’s operation.
