DTC P0713 Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor Circuit High Input
D07R200004
Circuit Description
The TFT sensor is a thermistor that controls the signal
voltage to the PCM. The PCM supplies a 5±volt reference
signal to the sensor on circuit RED/BLK. When the
transmission fluid is cold, the sensor resistance is high
and the PCM will sense high signal voltage. As the
transmission fluid temperature warms to the normal
operating temperature of 100C (212F), the sensor
resistance becomes less and the voltage decreases to
about 1.5 to 2 volts.
This DTC detects a continuous open or short to power in
the TFT signal circuit or the TFT sensor. This is a type ªDº
DTC.
Conditions For Setting The DTC
Battery voltage is between 10 and 16 volts.
Ignition is ªonº.
TFT sensor indicating a voltage greater than 4.86
volts.
All conditions met for 20 seconds.
Action Taken When The DTC Sets
Transmission default temperature will be:
80C (176F) if engine temperature code is set.
100C (212F) if engine temperature is warm.
80C (176F) if engine run time is greater than 5
minutes.
21C (69.8F) if engine run time is less than 5
minutes.
The PCM will not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL).
Conditions For Clearing The DTC
The DTC can be cleared from the PCM history by
using a scan tool.The DTC will be cleared from history when the vehicle
has achieved 40 warmup cycles without a failure
reported.
The PCM will cancel the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition is cycled ªoffº
long enough to power down the PCM.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connection at the
PCM and transmission 7-way connector. Look for
possible bent, backed out, deformed or damaged
terminals. Check for weak terminal tension as well.
Also check for a chafed wire that could short to bare
metal or other wiring. Inspect for a broken wire inside
the insulation.
When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.
Scan tool displays transmission fluid temperature in
degrees. After transmission is operating, the
temperature should rise steadily to about 100C
(212F), then stabilize.
The temperature to resistance value scale may be
used to check the TFT sensor at the various
temperature levels to evaluate the possibility of a
ªskewedº (mis±scaled) sensor.
A ªskewedº sensor could result in hard shifts or TCC
complaints.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic chart:
3. This check verifies problem in the TFT sensor circuit.
4. This test simulates a TFT sensor DTC P0712. If the
PCM recognizes the low signal voltage (high
temperature), and the scan tool displays 146C
(295F) or greater, the PCM and wiring are OK.
5. This test checks the TFT sensor and internal wiring
harness.

DTC P0719 Brake Switch Circuit Low (Stuck On)
D07R200007
Circuit Description:
The brake switch indicates brake pedal status to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The brake switch is a
normally±closed switch that supplies battery voltage on
circuit BRN/RED to the PCM. Applying the brake pedal
opens the switch, interrupting voltage to the PCM. When
the brake pedal is released, the PCM receives a constant
voltage signal. If the PCM receives a zero voltage signal
at the brake switch input, and the Torque Converter
Clutch (TCC) is engaged, the PCM de±energizes the
Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve (TCC Sol.
Valve). The PCM disregards the brake switch input for
TCC scheduling if there is a brake switch circuit fault
(Refer to
Diagnostic Aids).
When the PCM detects an open brake switch circuit (0
volts, low input) during accelerations, then DTC P0719
sets. DTC P0719 is a type D DTC.
Conditions For Setting The DTC
No OSS Assy. DTCs P0722 or P0723.
The PCM detects an open brake switch or circuit (0
volts) for 15 minutes without changing for 2 seconds,
and the following events occur seven consecutive
times.
The vehicle speed is less than 8 km/h (5 mph).
then the vehicle speed is 8±32 km/h (5±20 mph) for
4 seconds.
then the vehicle speed is greater than 32 km/h (20
mph) for 4 seconds.
Action Taken When The DTC Sets
The PCM does not illuminate the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL).
DTC P0719 stores in PCM history.
Conditions For Clearing The DTC
A scan tool can clear the DTC from the PCM history.
The PCM clears the DTC from the PCM history if the
vehicle completes 40 warm±up cycles without a
failure reported.
The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the
fault no longer exists and the ignition is OFF long
enough in order to power down the PCM.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at
the PCM and brake switch. Look for possible bent,
backed out, deformed or damaged terminals. Check
for weak terminal tension as well. Also check for a
chafed wire that could short to bare metal or other
wiring. Inspect for a broken wire inside the insulation.
When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.
Check customer driving habits and/or unusual driving
conditions (i.e. stop and go, highway).
Check brake switch for proper mounting and
adjustment.
