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 ATF temperature sensor converts the fluid temperature into a resistance value for use by the TCM.

The TCM applies a voltage to the temperature sensor through terminal THO1 of the TCM.

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 goes down as the temperature becomes higher.

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

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ATF temperature sensor converts 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 is below 79 Ω*1 or higher than 156 kΩ*2, the TCM interprets this as a fault in the ATF sensor or wiring. The TCM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

Tech Tips


  • *1: 150°C (302°F) or higher 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 intelligent tester display.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips

Using the intelligent tester 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.

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.


  1. Warm up the engine.

  2. Turn the engine switch off.

  3. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

  5. Turn the intelligent tester on.

  6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List.

  7. According to the display on the tester, read the Data List.

    Min.: -40°C (-40°F)

    Max.: 215°C (419°F)

    • After stall speed test: Approximately 80°C (176°F)

    • While engine cold:

      Equal to ambient temperature

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

    Tech Tips


    • When DTC P0712 is output and the intelligent tester output is 150°C (302°F) or higher, there is a short circuit.

    • When DTC P0713 is output and the intelligent tester output is -40°C (-40°F), there is an open circuit. Check the temperature displayed on the intelligent tester in order to check if a malfunction exists.

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

    Tech Tips

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

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HARNESS AND TRANSMISSION WIRE (TRANSMISSION WIRE - TCM, TRANSMISSION WIRE (ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR))


    1. A01GKZME04

      Disconnect the E6 TCM connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E6-27 (THO1) - E6-35 (E2) ATF temperature 10°C (50°F) 5.8 to 7.1 kΩ
      E6-27 (THO1) - E6-35 (E2) ATF temperature 25°C (77°F) 2.5 to 4.5 kΩ
      E6-27 (THO1) - E6-35 (E2) ATF temperature 110°C (230°F) 231 to 263 Ω

      Tech Tips

      The resistance value for the 25°C (77°F) ATF temperature condition is a reference value.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E6-27 (THO1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      E6-35 (E2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
