7A1±36
TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30±E)
DTC P0712 Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor Circuit Low Input
D07R200004
Circuit Description
The TFT sensor is a thermister 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.
The PCM detects high signal voltage. As the
transmission fluid temperature increases to the normal
operating temperature of 100
C (212
F), the sensor
resistance becomes less and the voltage decreases to
1.5 to 2 volts. With transmission fluid over temperature
and DTC P0218 also set, check the transmission cooling
system.
This DTC detects a continuous short to ground 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 less than 0.4 volts.

All conditions met for 20 seconds.
Action Taken When The DTC Sets

Transmission default temperature will be:
80
C (176
F) if engine temperature code is set.
100
C (212
F) if engine temperature is warm.
80
C (176
F) if engine run time is greater than 5
minutes.
21
C (69.8
F) 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

Check harness routing for a potential short to ground
in circuit RED/BLK. Scan tool TFT display should rise
steadily to about 100
C (212
F), then stabilize.

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.

The temperature to resistance value scale may be
used to test the TFT sensor at the various
temperature levels to evaluate the possibility of a
ªskewedº (mis±scaled) sensor.
A ªskewedº sensor could result in delayed garage
shifts or TCC complaints.

Verify customer driving habits, trailer towing, etc.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic chart:
3. This test checks for a short to ground or a ªskewedº
sensor.
4. This test checks for an internal fault within the
transmission by creating an open.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30±E)7A1±45
DTC P0722 Automatic Transmission Output Speed Sensor (OSS) Low Input
D07R200006
Circuit Description
Output speed information is provided to the PCM by the
OSS, which is a permanent magnet (PM) generator. The
PM generator produces a pulsing AC voltage. The AC
voltage level and number of pulses increases as the
speed of the vehicle increases. The PCM then converts
the pulsing voltage to output speed, which is used for
calculations. The vehicle speed can be displayed with a
scan tool.
This DTC detects a low output speed when there is a high
engine speed in a drive gear range. This is a type ªBº
DTC.
Conditions For Setting The DTC

No MAP DTCs P0107 or P0108, P0106, P1106,
P1107.

No TPS DTCs P0122 or P0123.

Not in Park or Neutral.

TP angle is greater than 10%.

Engine vacuum is between 0 and 70kPa.

Engine speed is between 3000 and 7000 rpm.

Transmission output speed is less than 0 rpm.

All conditions met for 5 seconds.
Action Taken When The DTC Sets

Fixed to 4th gear.

Maximum line pressure.

Inhibit TCC engagement.

For lamp illuminate refer to
DTC type definition (type
B).
Conditions For Clearing The MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn off the MIL and CHECK TRANS
Lamp after three consecutive ignition cycles without a
failure reported.

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

An OSS DTC P0722 will set when no output speed is
at detected at start off.

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connection at the
PCM. 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 or massage the wiring harness
while observing test equipment for a change.
