DTC P0712: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Low Input; DTC P0713: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit High Input: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Toyota Camry. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) temperature sensor converts the fluid temperature into a resistance value for use by the TCM.
The TCM applies a voltage to the temperature sensor through terminal OIL of the TCM.
The sensor resistance changes with the transmission fluid temperature. As the temperature becomes higher, the sensor resistance decreases.
One terminal of the sensor is grounded so that the sensor resistance decreases and the voltage goes down as the temperature becomes higher.
The TCM calculates the fluid temperature based on the voltage signal.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0712 | ATF temperature sensor resistance is less than 79 Ω for 0.5 sec. or more (1-trip detection logic) |
|
| P0713 | Either of the following conditions is met (1-trip detection logic) (A) 15 minutes or more after the engine is started, ATF temperature sensor resistance is more than 156 kΩ for 0.5 sec. or more. (B) The condition (A) of "TYPICAL ENABLING CONDITIONS" for DTC P0711 is met and ATF temperature sensor resistance is more than 156 kΩ for 0.5 sec. or more. |
