Inspection Procedure

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

    HINT:

    Using the Data List displayed by the Techstream, you can read the values of the switches, sensors, actuators and so on without parts removal. Reading the Data List as the first step of troubleshooting is one method of shortening 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 Techstream to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    5. Turn the tester on.
    6. Select the following items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.
    7. In accordance with the display on the tester, read the Data List.
      DATA LIST REFERENCE

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition
      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 when cold soak

      HINT:

      When DTC P0712 is output and Techstream reading is 150°C (302°F) or more, there is a short circuit.

      When DTC P0713 is output and Techstream reading is -40°C (-40°F), there is an open circuit.

      Measure the resistance between terminal THO1 and the body ground.

      TEMPERATURE SPECIFICATIONS

      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 (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature sensor becomes open, P0713 is immediately set (within 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 Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Turn the tester on.
    4. Select the following items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
    5. Read the DTCs using the tester.

      Result 

      DTC CHART

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

      HINT:

      If any DTCs 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 (ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR) (See  REMOVAL   )
