DTC Descriptors
DTC P0711
Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Performance
DTC P0712
Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
DTC P0713
Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Circuit High Voltage
Circuit/System Description
The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is located inside of the transmission control module (TCM) assembly which has no serviceable components. The TFT sensor provides transmission fluid temperature to the TCM. This fault is handled inside the TCM and no external circuits are involved.
Conditions for Running the DTC
P0711
- DTC P0101, P0102, P0103, P0106, P0107, P0108, P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175, P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0205, P0206, P0207, P0208, P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0307, P0308, P0401, P042E, P0658, P0668, P0669, P06AD, P06AE, P0711, P0712, P0713, P0716, P0717, P0722, P0723, P0962, P0963, P0966, P0967, P0970, P0971, P215C, P2720, P2721, P2729, or P2730 is not set.
- The engine speed is 400 RPM or greater for 5 seconds.
- The ignition voltage is 8.6 volts or greater.
- Brake torque is not active.
- The engine torque signal is valid.
- The throttle position signal is valid.
P0712
- DTC P0712, P0716, P0717, P0722, or P0723 is not set.
- The engine speed is 400 RPM or greater for 5 seconds.
- The ignition voltage is 8.6 volts or greater.
P0713
- DTC P0713, P0716, P0717, P0722, or P0723 is not set.
- The engine speed is 400 RPM or greater for 5 seconds.
- The ignition voltage is 8.6 volts or greater.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0711
The 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
The TFT is -74° C (-101° F) or lower for 1 minute.
P0713
The TFT is 174° C (345° F) or greater for 1 minute.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
- DTCs P0711, P0712, and P0713 are Type B DTCs.
- The TCM defaults the TFT to the TCM Temperature.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0711, P0712, and P0713 are Type B DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
The TCM temperature sensor is located inside of the control solenoid valve assembly and its output should resemble that of the TFT sensor output.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Engine idling at operating temperature, verify the scan tool Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter is between -74 and +174° C (-101 and +345° F).
2. If not within the specified range, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
3. Operate the vehicle at 64 km/h (40 mph) for 10 minutes. Monitor the TCM Temperature and the Transmission Fluid Temperature parameters with a scan tool. Also, the TCM Temperature and the Transmission Fluid Temperature parameters should be within 20° C (36° F) of each other.
4. If greater than the specified range, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
5. After performing the above steps, verify that the DTC does not return by operating the vehicle within the conditions for running fault codes (DTC). You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions you have seen from the freeze frame/failure records. If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification procedure, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections.
Repair Instructions
Note
- Perform the Transmission Adaptive Values Learn following all transmission related repairs. Programming and Relearning
- Before replacing the TCM, perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection. Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
