DTC P0710, P0712, P0713: TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR "A" CIRCUIT
LOW/HIGH INPUT
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature sensor converts the fluid temperature into a resistance
value which is input into the ECM.
The ECM applies a voltage to the temperature sensor through ECM terminal OIL.
The sensor resistance changes with the transmission fluid temperature. As the temperature becomes higher, the
sensor resistance decreases.
One terminal of the sensor is grounded so that the sensor resistance decreases and the voltage goes down as the
temperature becomes higher.
The ECM calculates the fluid temperature based on the volta
ge signal.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
These DTCs indicate an open or short in the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature sensor circuit. The
automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature sensor converts ATF temperature to an electrical resistance
value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the ATF temperature, and the ECM detects an opens or
shorts in the ATF temperature circuit. If the resistance value of the ATF temperature is less than 79ohms*1 or
more than 156kohms*2, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the ATF sensor or wiring. The ECM will turn on
the MIL and store the DTC.
*1: 150°C (302°F) or more is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
*2: -40°C (-40°F) is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
HINT:
The ATF temperature can be checked on the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester display.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
According to the DATA LIST displayed by the hand-held tester, you can read the value of the switch, sensor
actuator and so on without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as the first step of troubleshooting is one
method to shorten labor time.
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. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/DATA LIST".
g. According to the display on tester, read the "DATA LIST".

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.
It is not necessary to inspect the circuit when P0711 is set.
1.INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR)
a. Disconnect the transmission wire connector from the transmission.
b. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

DTC P0711: TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR "A" PERFORMANCE
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
See CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION .
Fig. 66: DTC Reference Chart

Courtesy of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that there is a problem with output from the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature
sensor and that the sensor itself is defective. 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 10°C (50°F)
after running the vehicle for a certain period, the ECM interprets this as a fault, and turns on the MIL.
