CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSAXLE SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0711

DTC Code DTC Name
P0711 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Performance

DESCRIPTION

The CVT fluid temperature sensor converts the fluid temperature into a resistance value which is input to the ECM.

The sensor resistance changes with the transmission fluid temperature. As the temperature rises, the sensor resistance decreases. The ECM applies a voltage to the temperature sensor through ECM terminal THO1, and the ECM calculates the fluid temperature based on the voltage signal.

Tech Tips

The CVT fluid temperature is likely to increase under conditions such as towing, climbing hills and in traffic.

DTC No.

  • Continuously variable transaxle assembly

    (Transmission fluid temperature sensor)

  1. Engine coolant temperature is less than 35°C (95°F) at engine start.

  2. CVT fluid temperature is 100°C (212°F).

  4. 2-trip detection logic

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The CVT fluid temperature sensor converts the CVT fluid temperature to an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the CVT fluid temperature and detects opens or shorts in the CVT fluid temperature circuit.

After driving the vehicle for a certain period, the CVT fluid temperature should increase. When the CVT fluid temperature is below 20°C (68°F), the ECM interprets this as a fault, turns on the MIL.

When the CVT fluid temperature is 100°C (212°F) or more and engine coolant temperature reaches 35°C (95°F) after engine cold start, the ECM also determines this as a fault, turns on the MIL, and stores the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0711)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the tester on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC / Current or Pending.

    5. Read the DTCs using the tester.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Only P0711 is output A
      P0711 and other DTCs are output B

      Tech Tips

      If any other DTCs besides P0711 are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
