DTC P0713 is output and hand-held tester output is -40°C (-40°F), there is an open circuit. Measure the
resistance between terminal OIL (OT) and body ground.
CHECKING CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION TABLE
HINT:
If a circuit related to the ATF temperature sensor becomes open, P0713 is immediately set (in 0.5 second).
When P0713 is set, P0711 cannot be detected.

DTC P0717: TURBINE SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT NO SIGNAL
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the rotation speed of the turbine which shows the input revolution of transmission. By
comparing the input turbine speed signal (NT) with the counter gear speed sensor signal (SP2), the ECM detects
the shift timing of the gears and appropriately controls the engine torque and hydraulic pressure according to
various conditions. Thus, providin
g smooth gear shift.

DTC P0724: BRAKE SWITCH "B" CIRCUIT HIGH
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while driving in lock-up condition, when
brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signal to the ECM. Then the ECM cancels the operation
of the lock-up clutch while braking is in progress.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that the stop light switch remains on. When the stop light switch remains ON during "stop
and go" driving, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the stop light switch and the MIL comes on and the ECM
stores the DTC. The vehicle must stop (less than 3 km/h (2 mph)) and go (30 km/h (19 mph) or more) 5 times
for two driving cycles in order to detect malfunction.

c. Start the engine and warm it up.
d. Measure the line pressure with SST.
e. Turn the hand - held tester ON.
f. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST.
g. Follow the instructions on the tester and perform the ACTIVE TEST.
h. Measure the line pressure with SST.

3.INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE (S3)
a. Remove the shift solenoid valve S3.
b. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard:
SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE (S3) - RESISTANCE TABLE
ItemTest DetailsDiagnostic Note
LINE PRESS UP(1)
[Test Details]
Operate shift solenoid SLT and
raise line pressure
[Vehicle Condition]
Vehicle stopped
IDL: ON

HINT:
OFF: Line pressure up (when
Active Test "LINE PRESS UP" is
performed, ECM commands SLT
solenoid to turn OFF)
ON: No action (normal operation)
-
HINT:
The pressure values in ACTIVE TEST and HYDRAULIC TEST are different from each other.
Normally, the line pressure detected in the ACTIVE TEST is approximately half of the value
detected in the HYDRAULIC TEST's stall test.
(1)"LINE PRESS UP" in the ACTIVE TEST is performed to check the line pressure change by
connecting SST to the automatic transmission, which is used in the HYDRAULIC TEST
(see )

The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves "ON/OFF" and switching oil pressure to
the valves in the valve body.
The ECM calculates the "actual" transmission gear by comparing the signals from the input speed sensor (NT)
and the output speed sensor (SP2). The ECM can detect many mechanical problems in the shift solenoids, valve
body, and the transmission clutches, brakes, and gears. If the ECM detects that the actual gear position and the
commanded gear position are different, it will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Performing the ACTIVE TEST using the hand-held tester allows the relay, VSV, actuator and so on to operate
without parts removal. Performing the ACTIVE TEST as the first step of troubleshooting is one method to
shorten labor time.
It is possible to display the DATA LIST during the ACTIVE TEST.
a. Warm up the engine.
b. Turn the ignition switch off.
c. Connect the hand-held tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle interface
module) to the DLC3.
d. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
e. Push the "ON" button of the hand-held tester.
f. Clear the DTC.
g. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/ACTIVE TEST/LINE PRESS UP".
h. According to the display on tester, perform the "ACTIVE TEST".

d-held tester to the DLC3.

a. Warm up the engine.
b. Turn the ignition switch off.
c. Connect the hand-held tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle interface
module) to the DLC3.
d. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
e. Push the "ON" button of the hand-held tester.
f. Clear the DTC.
g. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/ACTIVE TEST/LOCK UP".
h. According to the display on tester, perform the "ACTIVE TEST".

HINT:
This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 58 km/h (36 mph) or more.
This test can be conducted with the 5th or 6th gear.
i. Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change abruptly.
HINT:
When changing the accelerator pedal opening angle while driving, if the engine speed does not change,
lock-up is on.
Slowly release, but not fully, the accelerator pedal in order to decelerate. (Fully releasing the pedal will
close the throttle valve and loc
k-up may be turned off automatically.)

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.DRIVING TEST
a. Start the engine.
b. Turn the ECT SNOW switch "OFF" (Normal drive mode).
c. Confirm vehicle response by driving from a parked position to fully depressing the accelerator
pedal.
d. Turn the ECT SNOW switch "ON" and perform the same check as (c).
Confirm that there is a difference between ECT SNOW switch "ON" and "OFF".
Driving test should be done on a paved road (a nonskid road).
Make sure not to use the TRAC system when testing a vehicle equipped with one.
OK:
There is a difference in acceleration between "ON" and "OFF".
