DESCRIPTION

Refer to DTC P0711 (LandCruiser RM000000W7Z0RBX_01.html).

DTC Code
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P0712
ATF temperature sensor resistance is below 79 Ω for 0.5 sec. or more (1-trip detection logic).
  1. Short in No. 1 ATF temperature sensor circuit
  2. No. 1 ATF temperature sensor (transmission wire)
  3. TCM
P0713
ATF temperature sensor resistance is higher than 156 kΩ for 0.5 sec. or more and either condition is met (1-trip detection logic):
(A) 550 sec. or more have elapsed after the engine start when the 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 the engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature are higher than -29.375°C (-20.875°F).
  1. Open in No. 1 ATF temperature sensor circuit
  2. No. 1 ATF temperature sensor (transmission wire)
  3. TCM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ATF temperature sensor converts the ATF temperature to an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the TCM 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 below 79 Ω*1 or higher than 156 kΩ*2, the TCM interprets this as a fault in the ATF temperature sensor or wiring. The TCM will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.
HINT:
  1. *1: 150°C (302°F) or higher is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
  2. *2: -40°C (-40°F) is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
  3. The ATF temperature can be checked on the intelligent tester display.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE


DATA LIST
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 to ON.

  5. Turn the intelligent tester on.

  6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List.

  7. According to the display on the tester, read the Data List.

    Min.: -40°C (-40°F)
    Max.: 150°C (302°F)
    1. After stall test: Approximately 80°C (176°F)
    2. With engine cold: Equal to ambient temperature
    If the value is -40°C (-40°F) or 150°C (302°F), the No. 1 ATF temperature sensor circuit is open or shorted.
    HINT:
    When DTC P0712 is output and the intelligent tester output is 150°C (302°F) or higher, there is a short circuit.
    When DTC P0713 is output and the intelligent tester output is -40°C (-40°F), there is an open circuit.
    Check the temperature displayed on the tester in order to check if a malfunction exists.

    If a circuit related to the ATF temperature sensor becomes open, P0713 is stored immediately (in 0.5 seconds). When P0713 is stored, P0711 cannot be stored. It is not necessary to inspect the circuit when P0711 is stored.
