DTC P0711 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Performance

DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0710. P0710





MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that there is a problem with the output from the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature sensor and that the sensor itself is defective. The ATF temperature sensor converts the ATF temperature to an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the ATF temperature and detects any open or short malfunctions in the ATF temperature circuit or a fault of the ATF temperature sensor.
After running the vehicle for a certain period, the ATF temperature should increase. If the ATF temperature is below 20°C (68°F) after running the vehicle for a certain period, the ECM interprets this as a fault, and turns on the MIL.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT: According to the DATA LIST displayed on the intelligent tester, you can read the values of components, such as the switches, sensors and actuators, without removing any parts. Reading the DATA LIST as a first step of troubleshooting is one method of shortening labor time.

NOTICE: In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are for reference only. Do not depend solely on these reference values when judging whether a part is faulty or not.

1. Warm up the engine.
2. Turn the ignition switch off.
3. Connect the intelligent tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle interface module) to the DLC3.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
5. Push the "ON" button of the tester.
6. Select the items "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/DATA LIST/A/T".
7. According to the display on the tester, read the "DATA LIST".





HINT:
When DTC P0712 is output and intelligent tester reading is 150°C (302°F) or more, there is a short circuit.
When DTC P0713 is output and intelligent tester reading is -40°C (-40°F), there is an open circuit. Measure the resistance between terminal THO1 (OT) and the body ground.





HINT:
If a circuit related to the ATF temperature sensor becomes open, P0713 is immediately set (in 0.5 seconds). When P0713 is set, P0711 cannot be detected.
It is not necessary to inspect the circuit when P0711 is set.
