P0713

U241E AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE: AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: P0712, P0713: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Low Input


DESCRIPTION

Refer to DTC P0711 P0711.





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ATF temperature sensor converts the ATF temperature to an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the ATF temperature, and the ECM detects an open or short in the ATF temperature circuit. If the resistance value of the ATF temperature is less than 79 Ohms*1 or more than 156 kOhms*2, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the ATF sensor or wiring. The ECM will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.

HINT
- *1: 150°C (302°F) or more is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
- *2: -40°C (-40°F) is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
- The ATF temperature can be checked on the Techstream display.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
Perform the universal trip to clear permanent DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

1. DATA LIST

HINT
Using the Techstream to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.

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

(a) Warm up the engine.

(b) Turn the ignition switch off.

(c) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(d) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(e) Turn the Techstream on.

(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data.

(g) Follow the instructions on the Techstream and read the Data List.





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





HINT
If a circuit related to the ATF temperature sensor becomes open, P0713 is set in approximately 0.5 seconds. It is not necessary to inspect the circuit when P0711 is set.

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR)

(a) Disconnect the transmission wire connector.





(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

HINT
If the resistance is out of the specified range of either of the ATF temperatures shown in the table below, the driveability of the vehicle may decrease.





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE TRANSMISSION WIRE (ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR) Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)

(a) Reconnect the transmission wire connector.





(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK -- REPLACE ECM Removal
