Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

When the transmission fluid is cold, the sensor resistance is high. As the transmission fluid warms up, the sensor resistance decreases. This diagnostic monitors the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor circuit. The circuit may be functional but not in the normal operating range. This diagnostic indicates stuck, erratic, intermittent, or skewed values, resulting in reduced system performance. The TFT sensor range is -40 to +225°C (-40 to +437°F).

If the powertrain control module (PCM) detects an intermittent voltage or no voltage change in the TFT sensor circuit, then DTC P0711 sets.
