DTC P0710-11: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Ground [10/2022 - ]: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus RX 350, 2024 Lexus RX 350, and 2023 Lexus RX 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- READ VALUE USING GTS
- Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.
Powertrain > Transmission > Data List
Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note A/T Oil Temperature No. 1 ATF temperature sensor value Min.: -40°C (-40°F)
Max.: 150°C (302°F)- Approximately 80°C (176°F): After stall speed test
- Equal to ambient temperature: When engine is cold
If value is -40°C (-40°F) or 150°C (302°F), ATF temperature sensor circuit is open or shorted Powertrain > Transmission > Data List
Tester Display A/T Oil Temperature No. 1 Result
Result Proceed to Data List value is normal A Data List value is not normal B
Result:
A
See step 3
Result:
B
See step 2
- Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR - ECM)
Pre-procedure1
- Disconnect the B29 ECM connector.
Procedure1
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition B29-40 (THO1) - B29-41 (ETHO) Always 0.079 to 156 kΩ B29-41 (ETHO) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher B29-40 (THO1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher HINT:
If the resistance is out of the specified range at any of the ATF temperatures shown in the table below, the driveability of the vehicle may decrease.
ATF Temperature Specified Condition 10°C (50°F) 5 to 8 kΩ 25°C (77°F) 2.5 to 4.5 kΩ 110°C (230°F) 0.22 to 0.28 kΩ Result
Proceed to OK NG Post-procedure1
- None
Result:
NG
See step 4
Result:
OK
See step 3
- Disconnect the B29 ECM connector.
- REPLACE ECM
HINT:
Refer to REMOVAL [10/2022 - ]

PERFORM REGISTRATION. Refer to REGISTRATION [10/2022 - ]
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)
Pre-procedure1
- Disconnect the B25 transmission wire connector.
- Disconnect the B29 ECM connector.
Procedure1
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition B25-1 (OIL) or B29-40 (THO1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher B25-2 (E2) or B29-41 (ETHO) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG Post-procedure1
- None
Result:
OK
REPLACE TRANSMISSION WIRE (ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR). Refer to REMOVAL [10/2022 - ]
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)
