AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0712, P0713

DTC Code DTC Name
P0712 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Low Input
P0713 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit High Input

DESCRIPTION

The transmission fluid pressure control circuit's fluid temperature is detected using the Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) temperature sensor, which is built onto the valve body. A signal that is based on the fluid temperature is then sent to the TCM.

A01Q8Y0E04
*1 Resistance
*2 Acceptable
*3 Temperature

The TCM applies voltage to the ATF temperature sensor through TCM terminal THO1 (OIL).

The sensor resistance changes with the ATF temperature. As the temperature becomes higher, the sensor resistance decreases.

One terminal of the sensor is grounded so that the sensor resistance decreases and the voltage decreases as the temperature becomes higher.

The TCM calculates the ATF temperature based on the voltage signal.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ATF temperature sensor converts the ATF temperature to an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the TCM determines the ATF temperature and detects an open or short in the ATF temperature circuit. If the resistance value of the ATF temperature sensor is less than 79 Ω*1 or higher than 156 kΩ*2, the TCM interprets this as a malfunction of the ATF sensor or wiring. The TCM will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.

Tech Tips


  • *1: 150°C (302°F) or more is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.

  • *2: -40°C (-40°F) is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.

  • The ATF temperature can be checked on the GTS display.

  1. DATA LIST

    Note

    In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.

    Tech Tips

    Using the GTS to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.


    1. Warm up the engine.

    2. Turn the engine switch off.

    3. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    5. Turn the GTS on.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List / A/T Oil Temperature 1.

    7. Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.


      Powertrain > ECT > Data List
      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      A/T Oil Temperature 1 ATF temperature sensor value

      Min.: -40°C (-40°F)

      Max.: 150°C (302°F)

      • After stall speed test:

        Approximately 80°C (176°F)

      • While engine is cold: Equal to ambient temperature

      		 If value is -40°C (-40°F) or 150°C (302°F), ATF temperature sensor circuit is open or short circuited

      Tester Display
      A/T Oil Temperature 1

      Tech Tips


      • When DTC P0712 is output and the GTS shows 150°C (302°F) or more, there is a short circuit.

      • When DTC P0713 is output and the GTS shows -40°C (-40°F), there is an open circuit.

        Check the temperature displayed on the GTS in order to check if a malfunction exists.

      Temperature Displayed Malfunction
      -40°C (-40°F) Open circuit
      150°C (302°F) or more Short circuit

      Tech Tips

      If a circuit related to the ATF temperature sensor becomes open, P0713 will be stored in approximately 0.5 seconds. It is not necessary to inspect the circuit when P0711 is output.
