So exactly what is this fix for?

its for a vp44 . electronic fix. 95% of the time a vp44 goes out its the circuit board. like when a person gets dead pedal. or they shut it off and it wont start or it starts but really rough . the circuit boards are prone to getting loose connection or a certain transistor gets stuck on and fries it self

Does this fix the P0216 ? :humm:

Yes, in many cases, it is the "fix" for the 0216 code. The OP has a good point, no popcorn necessary....

Soldering one corroded connection and one loose connection allowed me to "save" my current VP-44 - 26k miles ago.

However, current boards on the VP-44 are supposed to be upgraded and this problem is supposed to be no longer as prevalent.... "Supposed to" being the operative phrase.

Man, I'ma file this away for safe keeping. GREAT info!

very very good info.....but this don't work if you have a mechanical failure code....right?
