DESCRIPTION
The ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature sensor converts the ATF temperature into a resistance value which is input into the ECM.The ECM applies a voltage to the temperature sensor through ECM terminal THO1.
The sensor resistance changes with the ATF temperature.
One terminal of the sensor is grounded so that the sensor resistance and voltage decrease as the temperature becomes higher.
The ECM calculates the ATF temperature based on the voltage signal.
DTC Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
P0712 | ATF temperature sensor resistance is less than 79 Ω for 0.5 sec. or more (1 trip detection logic) |
|
P0713 | ATF temperature sensor resistance is more than 156 kΩ for 0.5 sec. or more either of the following conditions is met (1 trip detection logic): (A) 388 sec. or more have elapsed after the engine start when engine coolant temperature or intake air temperature is -29.375°C (-20.875°F) or less. (B) 10 sec. or more have elapsed after the engine start when engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature are more than -29.375°C (-20.875°F). |

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 detects an open or short in the ATF temperature sensor circuit. If the resistance value of the ATF temperature sensor is less than 79 Ω*1 or more than 156 kΩ*2, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the ATF temperature 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 (Click here).
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.
Warm up the engine.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the Techstream on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.
According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.
Engine and ECT: Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note A/T Oil Temperature 1 No. 1 ATF temperature sensor value/
Min.: -40°C (-40°F)
Max.: 215°C (419°F)- After stall test: Approximately 80°C (176°F)
- With engine cold: Equal to ambient temperature
If value is -40°C (-40°F) or 215°C (419°F), No. 1 ATF temperature sensor circuit is open or shorted - 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.
- Check the temperature displayed on the Techstream in order to check if a malfunction exists.
If a circuit related to the ATF temperature sensor becomes open, P0713 is immediately set (in 0.5 seconds). When P0713 is set, P0711 cannot be detected. It is not necessary to inspect the circuit when P0711 is set.Temperature Displayed Malfunction -40°C (-40°F) Open circuit 150°C (302°F) or more Short circuit - After stall test: Approximately 80°C (176°F)
1.INSPECT NO. 1 TRANSMISSION WIRE (NO. 1 ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR) |
