Automatic Transmission
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 in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
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 to LOCK (0).
3. Disconnect the shift solenoid harness connector.
4. Connect ATF temperature sensor connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2 with a jumper wire.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Check the ATF TEMP SENSOR voltage in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
Does the ATF TEMP SENSOR voltage exceed 4.93 V?
YES - Go to step 7.
NO - Go to step 22.
7. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
8. Remove the jumper wire from the shift solenoid harness connector.
9. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
10. Measure the 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 to LOCK (0).
12. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
13. Disconnect PCM connector C (44P).
14. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal C28 and ATF temperature sensor connector terminal No. 2.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 30.,
NO - Repair an open in the wire between PCM connector terminal C28 and the ATF temperature sensor connector, then go to step 23.
15. Connect 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 29.
NO - Go to step 17.
17. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
18. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
19. Disconnect PCM connector C (44P).
20. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal C14 and ATF temperature sensor connector terminal No. 1.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 29.
NO - Repair an open in the wire between PCM connector terminal C28 and the ATF temperature sensor connector, then go to step 23.
21. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
22. Replace the ATF temperature sensor.
23. Reconnect all connectors.
24. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
25. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
26. Start the engine in P, and let it run for at least 20 seconds.
27. 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 - If Temporary DTC or DTC P0713 is not indicated, or if any other Temporary DTCs are indicated, go to step 28.
28. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0713 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate PASSED?
YES - Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated on step 27, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connection or loose terminals at the ATF temperature sensor and the PCM, then go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 26.
29. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM.
30. Start the engine in P, and let it run for at least 20 seconds.
31. 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 30. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1.
NO - If Temporary DTC or DTC P0713 is not indicated, or another Temporary DTCs are indicated, go to step 32.
32. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0713 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate PASSED?
YES - If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM. If any other Temporary DTC or DTCs were indicated on step 31, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting.
NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, 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 30. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 30.
