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 sensor is located inside of the Transmission Control Module assembly which has no serviceable parts. The transmission fluid temperature sensor provides transmission fluid temperature information to the Transmission Control Module. This fault is handled inside the Transmission Control Module and no external circuits are involved.

* ECM DTCs: 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, or P042E is not set.
* Ignition voltage is between 8.6-32 V.
* The engine speed is 400 RPM or greater for 5 seconds.
* The vehicle speed is 8 km/h (5 mph) or greater for 5 minutes.
* The accelerator pedal position signal is valid.
* The engine torque signal is valid.
P0712
* DTC P0712, P0716, P0717, P0722, or P0723 is not set.
* Engine speed is greater than 400 RPM for 5 seconds.
* Ignition voltage is between 8.6-32 V.
P0713
* DTC P0713, P0716, P0717, P0722, or P0723 is not set.
* Engine speed is greater than 400 RPM for 5 seconds.
* Ignition voltage is between 8.6-32 V.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0711
The difference between the transmission fluid temperature and Transmission Control Module temperature and the difference between the transmission fluid temperature and Transmission Control Module power up temperature are both greater than 20-50°C (36-90°F). The temperature threshold is dependent on the average temperature of the transmission fluid temperature, Transmission Control Module temperature, and Transmission Control Module power up temperature.
P0712
The TFT is -74°C (-101°F) or less 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 freezes transmission adaptive functions.
* The TCM allows the vehicle to operate in transmission protection mode.
* The TCM defaults the TFT to the TCM temperature with an offset.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0711, P0712, and P0713 are Type B DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
During a road test, the transmission fluid temperature should steadily increase to a normal operating temperature, and then stabilize.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Engine idling at normal operating temperature.
2. Verify the scan tool Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter is between -74 and +174°C (-101 and +345°F).
• If not between -74 and +174°C (-101 and +345°F)
Replace the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.
• If between -74 and +174°C (-101 and +345°F)
3. Verify the scan tool Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter increases greater than 2°C (3.5°F) after operating the vehicle at 64 km/h (40 mph) for 10 minutes.
• If the temperature does not increase greater than 2°C (3.5°F)
Replace the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.
• If the temperature does increase greater than 2°C (3.5°F)
4. Verify the scan tool Transmission Fluid Temperature and the Transmission Control Module Temperature parameters are within 20°C (68°F) of each other.
• If the temperatures are not within 20°C (68°F)
Replace the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.
• If the temperatures are within 20°C (68°F)
5. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observe from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
6. Verify the DTC does not set.
• If the DTC sets
Replace the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.
• If the DTC does not set
7. All OK.
