P0016 GMC -Sierra

Question

Lately the traction control light comes on and it says service traction control and service stablia track. When that light is on shifting from 1st to 2nd gear it gives a hard gult. Not sure what it could be, hopefully someone has a rough idea or knows what is causing that light come on. Any answers will be helpful. Thank you!

Answer 1

HI there

This code means there is a problem with the correlation between the crank and cam sensor on bank 1. This will cause some running issues, but shouldn't affect the shifting on the transmission. Many times this code is the result of low oil pressure, or low engine oil.
