About B071F

B071F is a generic (obd-ii standard) body diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the B-prefix family of codes, which covers body, interior, airbag, or comfort-electronics faults.

When B071F is stored, the module has detected a plausibility fault — the measured value is in the electrical range but is not consistent with expected operating behaviour.

Scanning & clearing: Body (B) codes are often stored in the body control module, airbag module, or climate module. A basic OBD-II tool usually will not read body codes — an enhanced or OEM-level scan tool is typically required.

Because B071F is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

The control module sets DTC B071F when its internal electronics for the transmission range indicator function fail a self test or return implausible internal data. The transmission range indicator, also called the gear position or PRNDL display, shows the driver the currently selected gear, and the module derives that from the transmission range sensor or switch. An internal electronic failure means the fault lies inside the module itself rather than in the external sensor or wiring, so the module cannot reliably process or output the range information. When this code is stored the gear displa...
