Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Toyota 4Runner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT:

According to the DATA LIST displayed by the hand-held tester, you can read the value of the switch, sensor, actuator and so on without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as the first step of troubleshooting is one method to shorten labor time.

NOTE: In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.
  1. Warm up the engine.
  2. Turn the ignition switch off.
  3. Connect the hand-held tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle interface module) to the DLC3.
  4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
  5. Turn on the tester.
  6. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST".
  7. According to the display on tester, read the "DATA LIST".

HINT:

When DTC P0712 is output and OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester output is 150°C (302°F) or more, there is a short circuit.

When DTC P0713 is output and OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester output is -40°C (-40°F), there is an open circuit.

Measure the resistance between terminal THO1 (OT) and body ground.

MALFUNCTION CHART

Temperature Displayed Malfunction
-40°C (-40°F) Open circuit
150°C (302 °F) or more Short circuit

HINT:

If a circuit related to the ATF temperature sensor becomes open, P0713 is immediately set (in 0.5 second).

When P0713 is set, P0711 cannot be detected.

It is not necessary to inspect the circuit when P0711 is set.

  1. INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE(ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR) 
    1. Disconnect the transmission wire connector from the transmission.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard: 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      2(OT-)-10(OT+) 79Ω to 156 kΩ
      2 (OT-) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      10 (OT+) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

    HINT:

    If the resistance is out of the specified range with either the ATF temperature shown in the table below, the driveability of the vehicle may decrease.

    ATF TEMPERATURE SPECIFICATION

    ATF Temperature Specified Condition
    20°C (68°F) 3 to 4 kΩ
    110°C (230°F) 0.22 to 0.28 kΩ
    1. NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE  TRANSMISSION WIRE (A750E/A750F) 
    2. OK: Go to next step. 
  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM) 
    1. Connect the transmission wire connector to the transmission.
    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard: 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      E5-24(THO1)-E4-28(E2) 79Ω to 156 kΩ
    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard (Check for short):

    1. NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (SEE  ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSPECTION PROCEDURE  ) 
    2. OK: GO TO NEXT STEP 

      REPLACE  ECM (1GR-FE)
