Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Toyota Land Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT:

Using the intelligent tester's DATA LIST allows switch, sensor, actuator and other item values to be read without removing any parts. Reading the DATA LIST early in troubleshooting is one way to save 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 intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
  4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
  5. Turn the intelligent tester ON.
  6. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / OBD/MOBD / ECT / DATA LIST.
  7. Follow the instructions on the tester and read the DATA LIST.

TEMPERATURE SPECIFICATION

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 set in approximately 0.5 seconds. It is not necessary to inspect the circuit when P0711 is set.

  1. CHECK OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0711) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and push the intelligent tester main switch ON.
    3. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
    4. Read the DTCs using the intelligent tester.

    P0711 and other DTCs B

    HINT:

    If any other codes besides P0711 are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.

    B: GO TO DTC CHART 

    A: GO TO Next Step 

  2. CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL 

    OK: Automatic transmission fluid level is correct. 

    NG: ADD FLUID 

    OK: REPLACE TRANSMISSION WIRE
