MONITOR DESCRIPTION
5 hours* after the ignition switch is turned OFF, the electric vacuum pump creates negative pressure (vacu-
um) in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system. The ECM monitors for leaks and actuator malfunctions
based on the EVAP pressure.
HINT:
*: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35C (95F) 5 hours after the ignition switch is turned off,
the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35C (95F) 7 hours after the ignition switch is
turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.
SequenceOperationsDescriptionsDuration

AAtmospheric pressure
measurement
Vent valve turned OFF (vent) and EVAP system pressure measured by ECM in order to
register atmospheric pressure.
If EVAP pressure is not between 70 kPa and 110 kPa (525 mmHg and 825 mmHg), ECM
cancels EVAP system monitor.

First 0.02 inch leak
pressure measure-
mentIn order to determine 0.02 inch leak pressure standard, vacuum pump creates negative pres-
sure (vacuum) through 0.02 inch orifice and them ECM checks if vacuum pump and vent
valve operate normally.
60 seconds
CEVAP system pres-
sure measurement
Vent valve turned ON (closed) to shut EVAP system.
Negative pressure (vacuum) created in EVAP system, and EVAP system pressure then
measured.
Write down the measured value as it will be used in the leak check.
If EVAP pressure does not stabilize within 15 minutes, ECM cancels EVAP system monitor.

DTC P0711 TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE
SENSOR ºAº PERFORMANCE
CIRCUIT 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 ConditionTrouble Area
P0711
Both (a) and (b) are detected: (2-trip detection logic)
(a) Intake air and engine coolant temperatures are more than
-10°C (14F) at engine start
(b) After normal driving for over 18 min. and 9 km (6 mile) or
more, ATF temp. is less than 10°C (50F)

Open or short in ATF temperature sensor circuit

Transmission wire (ATF temperature sensor)

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 opens or shorts in the ATF temperature
circuit or a fault of the ATF temperature sensor.
After running the vehicle for a certain period, the ATF temperature should increase. If the ATF temperature
is below 10C (50F) 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 110C (230F) 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.

2. CATALYST MONITOR (A/F SENSOR TYPE)
(a) Preconditions
The monitor will not run unless:

The MIL is OFF.

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is 75°C (167°F) or higher.

Intake Air Temperature (IAT) is -10°C (14°F) or higher.*
NOTICE:
* 2002 and later MY vehicles:
To complete the readiness test in cold ambient conditions (less than -10°C/14°F), turn the ignition
switch OFF and then back to ON. Perform the drive pattern a second time.
(b) Drive Pattern
(1) Connect the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3 to check readiness monitor status and preconditions
(refer to step (a)).
(2) Drive the vehicle at 40 to 55
mph (64 to 88 km/h) for approximately 4 minutes.
NOTICE:
Drive with smooth throttle operation and avoid sudden acceleration.
If IAT was less than 10°C (50°F) when the engine was started, drive the vehicle at 40 to 55 mph (64
to 88 km/h) for an additional 4 minutes.
(3) Drive the vehicle allowing speed to fluctuate between 40 to 50 mph (64 to 80 km/h) for about 16
minutes.
NOTICE:
Drive with smooth throttle operation and avoid sudden closure of the throttle.
(4) Check the status of the readiness monitor on the scan tool display. If the readiness monitor status
did not switch to complete, ensure preconditions are met, turn the ignition OFF, and then repeat
steps (2) and (3).

The vehicle is stopped.

The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is between 4.4 and 35°C (40 to 95°F).

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) is between 4.4 and 35°C (40 to 95 °F).
(b) Monitor condition
(1) Allow the engine to idle for 300 seconds or more.
(2) Turn the ignition switch OFF and wait for 6 hours.
(3) Connect the scan tool to the DLC3 to check the monitor status and the preconditions.
(4) Check the readiness monitor status.
If ºINCMPº is displayed , the monitor is not completed. Turn the ignition switch OFF, confirm the preconditions
and perform the monitor condition again.
