Pinpoint Test AF: P1711
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The TCM monitors transmission fluid temperature during on-demand self-tests, and assumes the self-tests will be run on a cold vehicle at room temperature.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition TCM P1711:00 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Out Of Self Test Range: No Sub Type Information This DTC indicates the TFT sensor reading was out of self-test range during a TCM self-test. The TCM expects a transmission fluid temperature reading between -1 deg.C (30 deg.F) and 120 deg.C (248 deg.F). Possible Sources
- Transmission fluid temperature outside of self-test range
- TFT sensor fault
- TCM fault
- AF1 CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE
- Ignition ON.
- Access the TCM and monitor the TFT (Deg C) PID
Does PID TFT show between -1 deg.C (30 deg.F) and 120 deg.C (248 deg.F)?
Yes GO to AF2 No If the monitored temperature is plausible, either warm the transmission fluid temperature or let it cool into self-test range, then GO to AF2 If the monitored temperature is not plausible, GO to Pinpoint Test B - AF2 CHECK FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the DTC from the TCM.
- Ignition OFF.
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the TCM self-test.
Is DTC P1711 present in the TCM?
Yes INSTALL a new TCM. REFER to: Transmission Control Module (TCM) . CARRY OUT the transmission strategy download. REFER to: Transmission Strategy Download . No The fault is not present at this time and may have been caused by carrying out a self-test with the transmission fluid temperature out of the expected range.
