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 (TFT) sensor is located inside of the transmission control module (TCM) assembly which has no serviceable components. The TFT sensor provides transmission fluid temperature to the TCM. This fault is handled inside the TCM and no external circuits are involved.

Conditions for Running the DTC


P0711

• DTC 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, P042E, P0658, P0668, P0669, P06AD, P06AE, P0711, P0712, P0713, P0716, P0717, P0722, P0723, P0962, P0963, P0966, P0967, P0970, P0971, P215C, P2720, P2721, P2729, or P2730 is not set.

• The engine speed is 400 RPM or greater for 5 seconds.

• The ignition voltage is 8.6 volts or greater.

• Brake torque is not active.

• The engine torque signal is valid.

• The throttle position signal is valid.



P0712

• DTC P0712, P0716, P0717, P0722, or P0723 is not set.

• The engine speed is 400 RPM or greater for 5 seconds.

• The ignition voltage is 8.6 volts or greater.



P0713

• DTC P0713, P0716, P0717, P0722, or P0723 is not set.

• The engine speed is 400 RPM or greater for 5 seconds.

• The ignition voltage is 8.6 volts or greater.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0711

The difference between TFT and TCM temperatures and the difference between TFT and TCM start temperatures are both higher than 20-50°C (36-90°F). The temperature threshold depends on the average temperature of the TFT, TCM temperature and the TCM-start temperature. These conditions must have been met for 5 minutes within a 6 minute period.

P0712

The TFT is -74°C (-101°F) or lower 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 defaults the TFT to the TCM Temperature.


Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0711, P0712, and P0713 are Type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

The TCM temperature sensor is located inside of the control solenoid valve assembly and its output should resemble that of the TFT sensor output.

Circuit/System Verification


1. Engine idling at operating temperature, verify the scan tool Transmission Fluid Temperature parameter is between -74 and +174°C (-101 and +345°F).

2. If not within the specified range, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Replacement .

3. Operate the vehicle at 64 km/h (40 mph) for 10 minutes. Monitor the TCM Temperature and the Transmission Fluid Temperature parameters with a scan tool. Also, the TCM Temperature and the Transmission Fluid Temperature parameters should be within 20°C (36°F) of each other.

4. If greater than the specified range, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.

5. After you complete the steps described above, check that the diagnostic trouble code does not return by driving the vehicle according to the conditions for running diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). You can also drive the vehicle according to the conditions you have seen in Freeze Frame/Failure records. If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification procedure, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .


Repair Instructions

Note
• Perform the Resetting of the transmission's adaption after all transmission repairs.

• Before replacing the TCM, perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection .


Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
