| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0712-856 | Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Low Input |
| P0713-857 | Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit High Input |
DESCRIPTION
The transmission fluid temperature sensor, which is installed in the valve body, is used to detect the fluid temperature of the transmission fluid pressure control circuit. The sensor signal is used by the hybrid vehicle control ECU to determine transmission fluid temperature.
Characteristics of the thermistor resistance (reference values) are as follows.
| Terminal | THO (with connector disconnected) |
Resistance | Transmission Fluid Temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| THO - E2 | 4.5 to 5.5 V | 5.0 to 8.0 kΩ | Approximately 10°C (50° F) |
| 0.22 to 0.28 kΩ | Approximately 110°C (230° F) |
| DTC No. | INF No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| P0712 | 856 | Malfunction in the transmission fluid temperature sensor circuit (short circuit) |
|
| P0713 | 857 | Malfunction in the transmission fluid temperature sensor circuit (open circuit) |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Tech Tips
Read the freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. In the freeze frame data, some information is recorded about the engine conditions at the moment a malfunction occurred. This information can be helpful when troubleshooting.
PROCEDURE
READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Select the following menu items: Select: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Data List / T/M Oil Temperature.
Read the data list.
