P0713 (CVT (TCM))

DTC P0713  : CVT Fluid Temperature Sensor (Open)

NOTE: 

• Before you troubleshoot, review the General Troubleshooting Information .
• This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission.

DTC (CVT)

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
   CVTF 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 transmission fluid temperature sensor and the TCM. 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/onboard snapshot.

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

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

   -2. Disconnect the following connector.

   Solenoid wire harness A 8P connector

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

   -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
   CVTF 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. Transmission fluid 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.

   -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
   CVTF Temp Sensor (V)	Less than 0.07	V

   Do the current condition (s) match the threshold?

   YES 

   Faulty transmission fluid temperature sensor. Replace solenoid wire harness A .

   NO 

   The transmission fluid temperature sensor is OK. Repair an open in the SG5 wire between solenoid wire harness A and the TCM.

4. Open wire check (TATF line)

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

   -2. Remove the jumper wire.

   -3. Disconnect the following connector.

   TCM 50P connector

   -4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	Solenoid wire harness A 8P connector: disconnected
   	TCM 50P connector: disconnected
   Test point 1	Solenoid wire harness A 8P connector (female terminals) No. 7 :
   Test point 2	TCM 50P connector No. 33

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   The TATF wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good TCM , then recheck. If this DTC goes away and the TCM was substituted, replace the original TCM .

   NO 

   Repair an open in the TATF wire between solenoid wire harness A and the TCM.
