DTC P0218 Transmission Fluid Over Temperature
D07R200004
Circuit Description
The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is a
thermister that controls the signal voltage to the PCM.
The PCM supplies a 5±volt reference 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 fluid temperature warms to a
normal transmission operating temperature of 100
C
(212
F), the sensor resistance becomes less and the
voltage decreases to 1.5 to 2.0 volts.
This DTC detects a high transmission temperature for a
long period of time. This is a type ªDº DTC.
Conditions For Setting The DTC

No TFT DTCs P0712 or P0713.

TFT is greater than 135
C (275
F).

All conditions met for 21 seconds.
Action Taken When The DTC Sets

Hot mode TCC Shift Pattern.

The PCM will not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL).

ATF Lamp ON. (TFT is greater than 145
C (293
F))

Disable E±side TCC OFF request.
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 warm±up 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 connections 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.

Check harness routing for a potential short to ground
in circuit RED/BLK.

Scan tool TFT sensor temperature should rise
steadily to about 100
C (212
F), then stabilize.

Check for a ªskewedº (mis±scaled) sensor by
comparing the TFT sensor temperature to the
ambient temperature after a vehicle cold soak. A
ªskewedº sensor can cause delayed garage shifts or
TCC complaints.

Check for a possible torque converter stator problem.

Verify customer driving habits, trailer towing, etc.

resistance becomes less and the voltage decreases to
1.5 to 2 volts.
When the PCM detects a TFT sensor that remains at the
startup value, or a sensor that has a change delta of
greater than 20
C (36
F) less than 1 second, DTC P0711
sets. DTC P0711 is a type D.

greater than 2 counts (from startup temperature) for
greater than 410 seconds.

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 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.

DTC P0723 Automatic Transmission Output Speed Sensor (OSS) Intermittent
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

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 fast decrease of output speed when
engine running in a drive gear range. This is a type ªBº
DTC.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30±E)7A1±75
DTC P1850 Brake Band Apply Solenoid Malfunction
D07R200010
Circuit Description

The brake band apply solenoid is a normally open
solenoid which controls the flow of fluid for brake band
application. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
uses Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and changes
the duty cycle to control the solenoid. The PCM turns
the solenoid on (energized) and off (deenergized) at a
constant frequency. The length of time the solenoid is
energized during each on/off cycle is called the pulse
width. By varying or ªmodulatingº the pulse width, the
solenoid output pressure is changed. Since the
solenoid is normally open, increasing the pulse width
increases the duty cycle and decreases the output
pressure. PWM control provides smooth band
application without an accumulator. The band is only
applied in first and second gears.

In the event of an electrical failure (open), the
solenoid regulates at the maximum oil flow (0% duty
cycle).

The solenoid is activated by a current. This current is
produced by applying a voltage to one side (the High
side) and a ground to the other side (Low side).

The High Side Driver (HSD) is a circuit of the PCM
that acts as a switch between the solenoids and the
supply voltage. The High side of the solenoid is
permanently supplied with voltage. When the ignition
is off, the HSD is turned off.This DTC detects a continuous open or short to ground in
the brake band apply solenoid circuit or the brake band
apply solenoid. This is a type ªDº DTC.
Conditions For Setting The DTC

Battery voltage is between 10 and 16 volts.

Ignition is ªonº, Engine ªrunº.

The PCM commands the solenoid ªonº and the
voltage remains high (B+), or the PCM commands
the solenoid ªoffº and the voltage remains low (zero
volts).

All conditions met in 1.34 ~ 1.56 seconds.
Action Taken When The DTC Sets

Inhibit brake band apply solenoid.

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.
