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.
  1. Warm up the engine.
  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  3. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
  4. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
  5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.
  6. Follow the instructions on the tester and read the Data List.
    DATA LIST

    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.

  1. CHECK OTHER DTC OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0711) 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
    4. Read the DTCs using the tester.

      Result 

      RESULT REFERENCE

      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 

  2. CHECK TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL 

    OK: 

    Automatic transaxle fluid level is correct. 

    NG: ADD FLUID 

    OK: REPAIR OR REPLACE TRANSMISSION WIRE
