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 THO1.
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 voltage signal.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
These DTCs indicate an open or short in the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature sensor (TFT
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 79
*1or more than 156 k *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 (302F) or more is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
*2: -40
C (-40F) is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
HINT:
The ATF temperature can be checked on the OBD II scan tool or intelligent tester display.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Using the intelligent tester to read the DATA LIST allows the values or states of switches, sensors,
actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be
very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is
disturbed. Reading the DATA LIST information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.
NOTICE:
In the table below, the value listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend
solely on these reference values when deciding whether apart is faulty or not.
1. READ DATA LIST
(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the ignition switch off.
(c) Connect the intelligent 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) Turn on the tester.
(f) Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST".
(g) According to the display on the tester, read the "DATA LIST".
HINT:
When DTC P0712 is output and OBD II scan tool or intelligent tester output is 150
C (302F),
there is a short circuit.
When DTC P0713 is output and OBD II scan tool or intelligent tester output is -40

there is an open circuit.

DESCRIPTION
The ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature sensor converts the fluid temperature into a
resistance value which is input into the ECM.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
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 open or short in the ATF
temperature circuit or a fault in the ATF temperature sensor.
After running the vehicle for a certain period, the ATF temperature should increase. If the ATF
temperature is below 20
C (68F) after running the vehicle for a certain period, the ECM interprets this as
a fault, and turns on the MIL.
When the ATF temperature is 110
C (230F) or more after 17 minutes of engine cold start, the ECM also
determines this as a fault, turns on the MIL, and stores the DTC.
