Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue and 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The 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 an open sensor circuit results in high signal voltage. The TFT operating range is -40°F to 304°F (-40°C to 151°C).

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