DTC P0711

Transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor malfunction (stuck)

DETECTION CONDITION

•  Change in ATF temperature cannot be detected for 10 min or more when driving in D range or R position.

Diagnostic support note:

•  The MIL illuminates if the TCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles.

•  The AT warning light illuminates if the TCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles.

•  PENDING CODE is available.

•  FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.

•  The DTC is stored in the TCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

•  TFT sensor malfunction

•  TCM connector or terminal malfunction

•  TCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED • Has the FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded on the repair order?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2	VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY • Verify related service repair information availability. • Is any related repair information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information. • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
2		No	Go to the next step.
3	INSPECT RESISTANCE OF TFT SENSOR CIRCUIT • Inspect for resistance between TCM terminals 1J and 1M (wiring harness-side). • Is resistance as shown below? ― ATF temperature 10°C {50°F}: approx. 6.445 kilohms ― ATF temperature 25°C {77°F}: approx. 3.5 kilohms ― ATF temperature 110°C {230°F}: approx. 0.247 kilohms (See TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR INSPECTION [SJ6A-EL].)	Yes	Go to the next step.
3		No	Replace the TFT sensor, then go to Step 5. (See TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SJ6A-EL].)
4	INSPECT TCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION • Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. • Disconnect the TCM connector. • Inspect for poor connection at TCM terminals 1J and 1M (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Are terminals normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
4		No	Repair or replace the connector and/or terminal, then go to the next step.
5	VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0711 COMPLETED • Make sure to reconnect all the disconnected connectors. • Clear the DTC from the memory using the M-MDS. • Perform the following procedure to ensure that the DTC has been resolved: 1. Start the engine. 2. Warm-up the engine to normal operating temperature. 3. Drive the vehicle in D range for 10 min or more. • Is the PENDING CODE same as the DTC present?	Yes	Replace the TCM, then go to the next step. (See TCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SJ6A-EL].)
5		No	Go to the next step.
6	VERIFY NO DTC HAS BEEN PRESENTED • Perform the “Reading DTCs Procedure”. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION [SJ6A-EL].) • Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [SJ6A-EL].)
6		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
