Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The automatic transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is a negative coefficient thermistor. When the transmission fluid is cold, the sensor resistance is high. As the transmission fluid warms up, the sensor resistance decreases. This diagnostic monitors the TFT circuit. The circuit may be functional, but not in the normal operating range. This diagnostic indicates stuck, erratic, intermittent, skewed, or inaccurate values, indicating poor system performance. The TFT range is -40 to +151°C (-40 to +305°F).
If the TCM detects rapid or no voltage changes in the TFT sensor circuit, then DTC P0711 sets. DTC P0711 is a type C DTC.
