id050221817400

DTC P0712:00

TFT sensor circuit low input

DETECTION CONDITION

•  The TCM detects that input voltage from the TFT sensor is less than 0.12 V for 150 s.

Diagnostic support note

•  The MIL illuminates if the TCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.

•  The AT warning light illuminates if the TCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.

•  PENDING CODE is available.

•  FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.

•  The DTC is stored in the TCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

•  Coupler component connector or terminal malfunction

•  Short to GND in wiring harness between TFT sensor and TCM terminal AA

•  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 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 COUPLER COMPONENT CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION • Switch the ignition off. • Disconnect the coupler component connector. • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion) • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 7.
3		No	Go to the next step.
4	INSPECT TFT SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GND • Switch the ignition off. • Inspect for continuity between coupler component terminal E (wiring harness-side) and body GND. • Is there continuity?	Yes	Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to GND, then go to Step 7.
4		No	Go to the next step.
5	INSPECT TFT SENSOR • Inspect the TFT sensor. (See TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR INSPECTION [FS5A-EL].) • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Replace the coupler component, then go to Step 7. (See TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FS5A-EL].)
5		No	Go to the next step.
6	INSPECT TCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION • Switch the ignition off. • Disconnect the TCM connector. • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion) • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the terminal, then go to the next step.
6		No	Go to the next step.
7	VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED • Make sure to reconnect all the disconnected connectors. • Clear the DTC using the M-MDS. • Perform the following procedure to ensure that the DTC has been resolved: 1. Start the engine. 2. Idle the engine for 150 s or more. • Is the same DTC present?	Yes	Replace the TCM, then go to the next step. (See TCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FS5A-EL].)
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	VERIFY NO DTCs ARE PRESENT • Perform the “Reading DTCs Procedure”. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC INSPECTION [FS5A-EL].) • Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DTC TABLE [FS5A-EL].)
8		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
