Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Toyota Camry. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • Perform the universal trip to clear permanent DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
  • If DTCs P0711 and P2610 are output simultaneously, confirm that the ATF temperature is as specified in "Normal Condition" using the Techstream first. When the ATF temperature is as specified in "Normal Condition", perform troubleshooting for DTC P2610. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART .
  • In the table below, the value listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values.

HINT: 

Using the Techstream to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.

  1. Warm up the engine.
  2. Turn the engine switch off.
  3. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
  5. Turn the Techstream on.
  6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List.
  7. According to the display on the Techstream, read the 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 speed test: Approximately 80°C (176°F)
    • While engine is cold:

      Equal to ambient temperature

    If value is -40°C (-40°F) or 150°C (302°F), ATF temperature sensor circuit is open or short circuited

    HINT: 

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

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

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

    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 seconds). When P0713 is set, P0711 cannot be detected.

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