DTC P0711 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Performance


DESCRIPTION

The ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature sensor converts the fluid temperature into a resistance value which is input into the ECM.

DTC No.
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P0711
When either condition below is met:
(A) Both (a) and (b) are detected: (2 trip detection logic)
(a) Intake air and engine coolant temperatures are more than -10°C (14°F) at engine start
(b) After normal driving for over 18 min. and 20 sec. and 9 km (5.6 mile) or more, ATF temp. is less than 20°C (68°F)
(B) When engine coolant temp. is less that 35°C (95°F) at engine start, the ATF temp. is 110°C (230°F) or more after 17 min. of engine start (2 trip detection logic)
  1. Open or short in ATF temperature sensor circuit
  2. ATF temperature sensor
  3. ECM

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 circuit or a fault in the ATF temperature sensor.
After running the vehicle for a certain period, the ATF temperature should increase. If the ATF temperature is below 20°C (68°F) after running the vehicle for a certain period, the ECM interprets this as a fault, and turns on the MIL.
When the ATF temperature is 110°C (230°F) or more after 17 minutes of engine cold start, the ECM also determines this as a fault, turns on the MIL, and stores the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
Using the intelligent tester 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.
  1. Warm up the engine.
  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  3. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
  4. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
  5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.
  6. Follow the instructions on the tester and read the Data List.

ATF temperature sensor value/
Min.: -40°C (-40°F)
Max.: 215°C (419°F)
  1. After stall test:
    Approximately 80°C (176°F)
  2. Equal to ambient temperature while engine is cold
If value is -40°C (-40°F) or "150°C (302°F) or more", ATF temperature sensor circuit is open or short circuited
HINT:
  1. When DTC P0712 is output and the tester output is 150°C (302°F) or more, there is a short circuit.
  2. When DTC P0713 is output and the tester output is -40°C (-40°F), there is an open circuit.
    Measure the resistance between terminal THO1 (THO) and the body ground.

Short circuit
HINT:
  1. If a circuit related to the ATF temperature sensor becomes open, P0713 is set in approximately 0.5 seconds.
  2. It is not necessary to inspect the circuit when P0711 is set.
1.CHECK OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0711)
  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC / Current or Pending.

  1. Read the DTCs using the tester.
