DTC P0710: Malfunction of Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor

DTC P0712*: Malfunction of Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor (Short)

DTC P0713*: Malfunction of Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor (Open)

NOTE: When using general scan tool.

TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR SYSTEM CIRCUIT





DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
TCM conducts fault detection by monitoring the terminal voltage of the transmission fluid temperature sensor.
^ [P0710, P0712]: If transmission fluid temperature equals or exceeds specified value, TCM judges that transmission fluid temperature sensor has a failure.
^ [P0710, P0713]: If transmission fluid temperature is below specified value even after test driving for more than the specified period, the TCM judges that the transmission fluid temperature sensor has a failure.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS [P0710, P0712]
^ TCM detects the fluid temperature 180° C (356° F) or more for 5 seconds.

MONITOR EXECUTION [P0710, P0712]
^ Continuous

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (OTHER MONITOR AND SENSOR) [P0710, P0712]

Other Monitor (There is no temporary DTC stored in memory for the item monitored below)
^ P0741: Abnormality in lockup function
^ P0746: Abnormality in hydraulic control system function
^ P0841: Abnormality in line pressure sensor function

Sensor (The sensor below is determined to be normal)
^ Not applicable

LOGIC FLOW CHARTS (Monitor Sequence) [P0710, P0712]





DTC SET CONDITIONS [P0710, P0712]

Check Conditions
^ Voltage of battery: 9 volts or more.
^ Voltage of battery: 16 volts or less.

Judgment Criteria
^ Value of temperature of transmission fluid: 180° C (356° F) or more. (5 seconds)

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS [P0710, P0713]
^ TCM detects the fluid temperature -40° C (-40° F) or less for five seconds.

MONITOR EXECUTION [P0710, P0713]
^ Vehicle speed 10 km/h or more has been detected during 1 drive cycle

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN [P0710, P0712]
Ignition switch: ON (start the engine and keep it for 10 seconds or more)

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (OTHER MONITOR AND SENSOR) [P0710, P0713]

Other Monitor (There is no temporary DTC stored in memory for the item monitored below)
^ P0741: Abnormality in lockup function
^ P0746: Abnormality in hydraulic control system function
^ P0841: Abnormality in line pressure sensor function

Sensor (The sensor below is determined to be normal)
^ Not applicable

LOGIC FLOW CHARTS (Monitor Sequence) [P0710, P0713]





DTC SET CONDITIONS [P0710, P0713]

Check Conditions
^ After vehicle speed: 10 km/h (6.2 mph) or more.
^ Voltage of battery: 9 volts or more.
^ Voltage of battery: 16 volts or less.

Judgment Criteria
^ Value of temperature of transmission fluid: -40° C (-40° F) or less. (5 seconds)

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN [P0710, P0713]
transmission range: D (Drive the vehicle for 10 seconds or more while the accelerator opening angle is 20% or more)

PROBABLE CAUSES
^ Malfunction of the valve body assembly (Faulty transmission fluid temperature sensor)
^ Damaged wiring harness and connectors
^ Malfunction of TCM

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III data list
Item 5: Transmission fluid temperature sensor signal.

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Intermittent malfunction
NO: Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the following connector:
^ B-08 Transmission assembly connector
^ C-40 TCM connector
^ A-09 Intermediate connector
Check the terminals for a contact status problem and internal short circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Repair the defective connector.

STEP 3. Check for open circuit and short to ground in the wiring harness between the CVT assembly connector and the TCM connector
Between B-08 CVT assembly connector (terminal No. 17) and C-40 TCM connector (terminal No.50)

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 4.
NO: Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 4. Check for open circuit in the wiring harness between the CVT assembly connector and the TCM connector
Between B08 CVT assembly connector (terminal No. 19) and C-40 TCM connector (terminal No.48)

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 5.
NO: Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 5. Transmission fluid temperature sensor check

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 6.
NO: Replace the valve body assembly.

STEP 6. Symptom recheck after erasing diagnosis code

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Intermittent malfunction
NO: Replace TCM.
