Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The automatic transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is a negative coefficient thermistor whose resistance value changes based on temperature. The PCM provides a 5 volt reference to the sensor. A low fluid temperature, an open TFT sensor or sensor circuit results in high signal voltage. The TFT operating range is -40 to +151°C (-40 to +304°F).

If the PCM detects a continuous open or a short to voltage on the TFT sensor circuit, then DTC P0713 sets. DTC P0713 is a type C DTC.
