Pinpoint Test G : TFT (Transmission Fluid Temperature) Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln MKC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- G1 RETRIEVE AND RECORD ALL DTCS
- Using the diagnostic scan tool, retrieve all CMDTCs.
Are CMDTCs P0710, P0711, P0712, P0713, P1711 present?
Yes For CMDTCs P0710, P0712 and/or P0713, GO to G2For CMDTCs P0711, P1711, GO to G6 No REFER to: Diagnosis By Symptom . - G2 CHECK THE TFT (TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE) SENSOR SIGNAL INPUT
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect Transmission Vehicle Harness C1520A .
- Inspect the connectors for damaged or pushed-out terminals, corrosion, loose wires and missing or damaged seals.
- Ignition ON.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode: TFT and TFTV.
Does the TFT PID display a temperature -39.9 °F (-40 °C) and the TFTV PID display 4.9 volts?
Yes GO to G5 No REPAIR the circuit. - G3 CHECK THE TFT (TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE) SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT
Does the TFT PID display a temperature 375.5 °F (191 °C) and the TFTV PID display 0.0 to 0.2 volts?
Yes GO to G5 No GO to G4 - G4 CHECK THE TFT (TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE) SENSOR SIGNAL VOLTAGE
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C1520A-2 Ground
Is the voltage between 4.8 and 5.1 volts?
Yes GO to G5 No INSPECT and REPAIR the circuit. If an open circuit is not found, INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to: Powertrain Control Module (PCM) 2.3L EcoBoost (201kW/273PS) . PERFORM the Transmission Strategy Download, REFER to: Transmission Strategy Download . - Measure:
- G5 CHECK THE TFT (TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE) SENSOR RESISTANCE
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead Component side resistance pin 1. Component side resistance pin 2. Temperature

Do the temperature to resistance specifications match?
Yes To diagnosis an overheating concern, REFER to: Transmission Cooling . No INSTALL a new transmission internal wiring harness frame. REFER to: Transmission Internal Wiring Harness Frame . - Measure:
- G6 ON DEMAND SELF-TEST
- Check and make sure the transmission vehicle harness C1520A is fully seated, the terminals are engaged in the connector and in good condition before proceeding.
- Using the diagnostic scan tool, make sure the transmission fluid temperature is between 33.8 °F (1 °C) and 219.1 °F (104 °C).
- Perform the KOER self-test.
Did DTC P0711, P1711 set?
Yes For CMDTCs P0711 and P1711, INSTALL a new transmission internal wiring harness frame. REFER to: Transmission Internal Wiring Harness Frame . No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
