DTC Troubleshooting
DTC P0713: Open in ATF Temperature Sensor CircuitNOTE:
- Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review General Troubleshooting Information.
- This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission.
1. Check the ATF TEMP SENSOR voltage with the HDS in the A/T data list.
Does the ATF TEMP SENSOR voltage exceed 4.93 V?
YES - Go to step 2.
NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ATF temperature sensor and the PCM.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Disconnect the ATF temperature sensor connector at the transmission end cover.
4. Connect ATF temperature sensor connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2 with a jumper wire.
5. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
6. Check the ATF TEMP SENSOR voltage with the HDS in the A/T data list.
Does the ATF TEMP SENSOR voltage exceed 4.93 V?
YES - Replace the ATF temperature sensor, then go to step 21.
NO - Go to step 7.
7. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
8. Remove the jumper wire from the ATF temperature sensor connector.
9. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
10. Measure voltage between ATF temperature sensor connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.
Is there about 5 V?
YES - Go to step 16.
NO - Go to step 11.
11. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
12. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
13. Disconnect PCM connector C (44P).
14. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal C3 and ATF temperature sensor connector terminal No. 2.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 27.
NO - Repair an open in the wire between PCM connector terminal C3 and the ATF temperature sensor connector, then go to step 21.
15. Connect the PCM connector C (44P).
16. Check for continuity ATF temperature sensor connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 27.
NO - Go to step 17.
17. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
18. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
19. Disconnect PCM connector C (44P).
20. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal C12 and ATF temperature sensor connector terminal No. 1.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 27.
NO - Repair an open in the wire between PCM connector terminal C12 and the ATF temperature sensor connector, then go to step 21.
21. Reconnect all connectors.
22. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
23. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
24. Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in the D position through all five gears.
25. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0713 indicated?
YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ATF temperature sensor and the PCM, then go to step 1.
NO - Go to step 26.
26. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0713 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate PASSED?
YES - Troubleshooting is complete.
NO - Return to step 1 and recheck.
27. Update the PCM if it does not have latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM.
28. Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in the D position through all five gears.
29. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0713 indicated?
YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the transmission range switch and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM, then go to step 28. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1.
NO - Go to step 30.
30. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0713 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate PASSED?
YES - Troubleshooting is complete.
NO - Return to step 1 and recheck.
