Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The automatic transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is a negative coefficient thermistor. When the transmission fluid is cold, the sensor resistance is high. As the transmission fluid warms, the sensor resistance decreases. This diagnostic monitors the TFT circuit. The circuit may be functional, but not in the normal operating range. This diagnostic indicates stuck, erratic, intermittent, or skewed values, indicating poor system performance. The TFT range is -40 to +151°C (-40 to +305°F).
When the transmission control module (TCM) detects an intermittent voltage or no voltage change in the TFT sensor circuit, DTC P0711 sets. DTC P0711 is a type C DTC.
