DTC P0711: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Performance [08/2015 - ]: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
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 THO1 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.
