DTC P0712: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Low Input; DTC P0713: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit High Input [06/2017 - ]: Procedure

  1. INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR) 
    1. Remove the TCM from the transaxle.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      17 (E2) - 18 (THO1) Always 79 Ω to 156 kΩ
      17 (E2) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      18 (THO1) - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher

      HINT: 

      If the resistance is out of the specified range with the ATF temperature shown in the table below, the driveability of the vehicle may decrease.

      ATF Temperature Specified Condition
      10°C (50°F) 5 to 8 kΩ
      25°C (77°F) 2.5 to 4.5 kΩ
      110°C (230°F) 0.22 to 0.28 kΩ

      *a Component without harness connected
      (Transmission Wire)

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE TCM 

    (Refer to COMPONENTS [10/2014 - ] )

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  2

  2. INSPECT ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR 
    1. Disconnect the ATF temperature sensor connector from the transmission wire.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E2 - THO1 Always 79 Ω to 156 kΩ
      E2 - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher
      THO1 - Body ground and other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher

      HINT: 

      If the resistance is out of the specified range with the ATF temperature shown in the table below, the driveability of the vehicle may decrease.

      ATF Temperature Specified Condition
      10°C (50°F) 5 to 8 kΩ
      25°C (77°F) 2.5 to 4.5 kΩ
      110°C (230°F) 0.22 to 0.28 kΩ

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE TRANSMISSION WIRE 

    (Refer to COMPONENTS [10/2014 - ] )

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR ASSEMBLY 

    (Refer to COMPONENTS [10/2014 - ] )
