DTC P0713

DTC P0713  : ATF Temperature Sensor (Open)

NOTE:
DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
P0713 ATF Temperature Sensor (Open)      

DTC (A/T)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 2. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Threshold Current conditions
    Values Unit Values Unit
    ATF Temp Sensor (V) More than 4.93 V    

    Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections and loose terminals between the ATF temperature sensor and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

  2. Determine possible failure area (TATF line, others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    ATF temperature sensor 2P connector

    - 3. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

    Terminal A ATF temperature sensor 2P connector No. 1 (GRN)
    Terminal B Body ground

    - 4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 5. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Threshold Current conditions
    Values Unit Values Unit
    ATF Temp Sensor (V) Less than 0.07 V    

    Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

    YES 

    Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Go to step 4.

  3. ATF temperature sensor check

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Remove the jumper wire.

    - 3. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

    Terminal A ATF temperature sensor 2P connector No. 1 (GRN)
    Terminal B ATF temperature sensor 2P connector No. 2 (GRY)

    - 4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 5. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Threshold Current conditions
    Values Unit Values Unit
    ATF Temp Sensor (V) Less than 0.07 V    

    Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

    YES 

    Replace the ATF temperature sensor .

    NO 

    The ATF temperature sensor is OK. Repair an open in the SG2 wire between the ATF temperature sensor and the PCM.

  4. Open wire check (TATF line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Remove the jumper wire.

    - 3. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    - 4. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector B (51P) - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Brake Booster Pressure Monitoring System (2016 2017 2018 2019 2020), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems(With Auto Idle Stop System) (2016), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems, or How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2014 2015)

    - 5. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      ATF temperature sensor 2P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector B (51P): disconnected
    Test circuit TATF
    Test point 1 ATF temperature sensor 2P connector No. 1 (GRN)
    Test point 2 PCM connector B (51P) No. 39 (GRN)
    GHH319304Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The TATF wire is OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software , or substitute a known-good PCM - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Brake Booster Pressure Monitoring System (2016 2017 2018 2019 2020), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems(With Auto Idle Stop System) (2016), or How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2014 2015), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems .

    NO 

    Repair an open in the TATF wire between the ATF temperature sensor and the PCM.
