ignition key has been turned “ON", short between
No.11 and No.4 (ground) of DLC (Data Link
Connector). Then, after 1 second, but within 6
seconds, discontinue shorting.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connection at
the TCM. 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 o
r
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.
Check range sensor for proper mounting and
adjustment.
TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (AW30–40LE) (V6 3.5L) 7A2-43
DTC P0712 (FLASHING CODE 15) Transmission Oil Temperature Sensor
Circuit Low Input
RTW37AMF000201
Circuit Description
The oil temperature sensor is a thermistor sensor that
is installed in the transmission case and converts
temperature changes into continuous electric signals,
then outputs them to the Transmission Control Module
(TCM). When the ATF temperature is low, the
resistance of the sensor (thermistor) goes up, so that
the voltage of the TCM signal becomes high.
As the ATF is gradually warmed, the resistance of the
sensor goes down and the voltage becomes low. At the
normal operating ATF temperature (80
C/176
F) of the
transmission, the voltage of the TCM is about 3.7V.
Condition for setting the DTC
The TCM detects following "Condition" for 5 min
continuously.
Condition ("Short"):
Oil temperature is more than 220
C (428
F).
Action Taken When The DTC Sets
The TCM judges oil temperature is 100

CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION 7A1-11
The JR405E consists of two sets of planetary gears, which are called front planetary gear and rear
planetary gear.
The sun gear of front planetary gear is fixed to the drive plates of 2-4 brake and reverse clutch.
The planetary carrier of front planetary gear is fixed to the drum of low clutch, the drive plates of low &
reverse brake and the hub of high clutch.
The internal gear of front planetary gear and the planetary carrier of rear planetary gear are connected as
one, and they are fixed to output shaft.
The sun gear of rear planetary gear is fixed to input shaft.
The internal gear of rear planetary gear is fixed to the hub of low clutch.
Clutch and Brake
Basic structure of the clutch and brake is shown in the figures below.
In the figure A, the clutch plates (drive plate and driven plate) are in the fluid so that they slip against each
other transmitting no power.
Figure B shows the condition where the oil pressure is acting on the piston. The clutch plates are fitted
to each other under pressure transmitting the rotations of the clutch drum to the clutch hub.
When the oil pressure is removed from the piston, the clutch returns to the condition in the figure A by the
return spring.
Figure 13. Basic Construction of Clutch and Brake
Low Clutch, High Clutch and Reverse Clutch (Multi-Plate Clutch)
The multi-plate clutch is composed of drive plates and driven plates. By applying the oil pressure onto
the end surface of the plates, the clutch is engaged or disengaged. The oil pressure is adjusted with the
control valve according to the signal from the TCM.
All clutches use dish plates to prevent uncontrolled operation of the clutches when engaged, causing a
shock.
For the reverse clutch, a piston check ball is used to release the oil pressure for the purpose of preventing
the clutch drag due to oil pressure generated by residual ATF because of the centrifugal force while the
clutch is racing (under no oil pressure).
For the low clutch and high clutch, a centrifugal balance chamber always full of ATF is provided to offset
the excessive oil pressure, for the purpose of preventing the clutch drag due to oil pressure generated by
residual ATF because of the centrifugal force while the clutch is racing (under no oil pressure).
The solenoid in the control valve is driven based on the speed change signal from TCM and moves the
shift valve, thereby engaging the drive plate and driven plate through the piston of each clutch.
Resultantly, elements of the planetary gear unit are combined.
When the oil pressure is removed, the piston returns to the original position by the force of the return
spring.
CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION 7A1-13
2-4 Brake and Low & Reverse Brake (Multi-Plate Brake)
The multi-plate brake is composed of drive plates and driven plates. By applying the oil pressure onto
the end surface of the plates, the clutch is engaged or disengaged. The oil pressure is adjusted with the
control valve according to the signal from the TCM.
All brakes use dish plates to prevent uncontrolled operation of the clutches when engaged, causing a
shock.
The solenoid in the control valve is driven based on the speed change signal from TCM and moves the
shift valve, thereby engaging the drive plate and driven plate through the piston of each clutch.
Resultantly, rotation of each element of the planetary gear unit is fixed.
When the oil pressure is removed, the piston returns to the original position by the force of the return
spring.
Figure 19. Construction of 2-4 Brake
Figure 20. Construction of Low & Reverse Brake
Low One-way Clutch
The low one-way clutch employs the sprag which locks the counterclockwise rotation of the front planetary
carrier and rear internal gear.
The one-way clutch outer race is fitted with the low clutch drum and the inner race with the transmission
case.
The outer race rotates freely clockwise but, when it attempts to rotate counterclockwise, the sprag
functions to lock the outer race.
When the vehicle is traveling in 1st gear in the D, 3 or 2range, the low one-way clutch locks the rear
internal gear via the low clutch. It is left free in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th gear position.

CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTION 7A1-15
Line Pressure Solenoid
The line pressure solenoid is turned ON or OFF according to the signal from the TCM. It switches the
line pressure between high and low pressure.
While no power is supplied, the solenoid supplies high pressure.
Shift Solenoid
The shift solenoid is of the duty cycle type which are turned ON or OFF at 50Hz. The ratio of the ON and
OFF time can be freely controlled in the range of 0 - 100%.
While no power is supplied, the solenoid supplies output pressure.
The low clutch solenoid adjusts the low clutch pressure, the high clutch solenoid the high clutch pressure,
the 2-4 brake solenoid the 2-4 brake pressure and the low & reverse brake solenoid the low & reverse
brake pressure respectively.
Lock-up Solenoid
The lock-up solenoid is of the duty cycle type which is turned ON or OFF at 50Hz. The ratio of ON and
OFF time can be freely controlled in the range of 0-100%.
While no power is supplied, the solenoid drains the output pressure.
