Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT:

Using Techstream'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.

Warm up the engine.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.
Follow the instructions on the tester and read the Data List.

ECM:

ECM DATA LIST REFERENCE

Tester Display	Measurement Item/Range	Normal Condition	Diagnostic Note
A/T Oil Temperature 1	ATF temperature sensor value/ Min.: -40°C (-40°F) Max.: 215°C (419°F)	After stall test: Approximately 80°C (176°F) Equal to ambient temperature while engine is cold	If value is -40°C (-40°F) or "150°C (302°F) or more", ATF temperature sensor circuit is open or short circuited

HINT:

When DTC P0712 is output and the tester output is 150°C (302°F) or more, there is a short circuit.
When DTC P0713 is output and the tester output is -40°C (-40°F), there is an open circuit. Measure the resistance between terminal THO1 (THO) and the body ground.

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.

CHECK OTHER DTC OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0711)

Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

Read the DTCs using the tester.

Result

RESULT CHART

Display (DTC output)	Proceed to
Only P0711 is output	A
P0711 and other DTCs are output	B

HINT:

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

B: GO TO DTC OUTPUT

A: Go to Next Step

CHECK TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL
OK:

Automatic transaxle fluid level is correct.

NG: ADD FLUID

OK: REPAIR OR REPLACE TRANSMISSION WIRE
