Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is located inside of the transmission control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable components. The TFT sensor provides transmission fluid temperature to the transmission control module (TCM). This fault is handled inside the TCM and no external circuits are involved.

* Engine speed is greater than 400 RPM for 5 seconds.
* Ignition voltage is 9.0 volts or greater.
* Throttle position signal is valid.
* Engine torque signal is valid.
P0712
* Engine speed is greater than 400 RPM for 5 seconds.
* Ignition voltage is 9.0 volts or greater.
* DTC P0712, P0716, P0717, P0722, or P0723 is not set.
P0713
* Engine speed is greater than 400 RPM for 5 seconds.
* Ignition voltage is 9.0 volts or greater.
* DTC P0713, P0716, P0717, P0722, or P0723 is not set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0711
Difference between the TFT and TCM temperature and the difference between the TFT and TCM power up temperature are both greater than 20-50°C (36-90°F). The temperature threshold is dependent on the average temperature of the TFT, TCM temperature, and TCM power up temperature. The conditions have to be met for 5 minutes within a 6 minute period.
P0712
TFT is 254°C (489°F) or greater for 1 minute.
P0713
TFT is -254°C (-425°F) or less for 1 minute.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTCs P0711, P0712, and P0713 are Type B DTCs.
* TCM defaults to a calculated TFT based on the TCM temperature.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0711, P0712, and P0713 are Type B DTCs.
Diagnostics Aids
The TCM temperature sensor is located inside of the control solenoid valve assembly and its output should resemble that of the TFT sensor's output.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON, engine idling at operating temperature.
2. Verify the scan tool Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter is between -254 and +254°C (-425 and +489°F).
• If not within the specified range
Replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Replacement Service and Repair.
• If within the specified range
3. Operate the vehicle at 64 km/h (40 mph) for 10 minutes while monitoring the scan tool Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter and the TCM Temperature parameter. The Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter should increase by greater than 2°C (3.5°F) and the Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter and the TCM Temperature parameter should be within 20°C (36°F) of each other and DTC P0711, P0712, or P0713 should not set.
• If the Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter does not increase by greater than 2°C (3.5°F) or the Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter is not within 20°C (36°F) of the TCM Temperature parameter
Replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
• If the Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter increases by greater than 2°C (3.5°F) and the Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter is within 20°C (36°F) of the TCM Temperature parameter and DTC P0711, P0712, or P0713 set
Replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
• If the Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter increases by greater than 2°C (3.5°F) and the Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter is within 20°C (36°F) of the TCM Temperature parameter and DTC P0711, P0712, or P0713 did not set
4. After performing the above steps, verify that the DTC does not reset by operating the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions you observe from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification procedure, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification Verification Tests after completing the repair.
Note: Before replacing the TCM, perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection (Gen 1 with 1.4L - LCU, 1.6L - LDE or LFJ, 1.8L - LUW) Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection (Gen 1 with 1.4L - LCU, 1.6L - LDE or LFJ, 1.8L - LUControl Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection (Gen 2 with 1.4L - LUV) Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection (Gen 2 with 1.4L - LUV).
