DTC P0710-11: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Short To Ground [04/2018 -]: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Toyota Avalon, 2021 Toyota Avalon, 2020 Toyota Avalon, and 2019 Toyota Avalon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM
- Warm up the engine.
- Turn the engine switch off.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Data List / A/T Oil Temperature No. 1.
- Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream.
Powertrain > Transmission > Data List
Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note A/T Oil Temperature No. 1 ATF temperature sensor value Min.: -40°C (-40°F)
Max.: 150°C (302°F)- Approximately 80°C (176°F): After stall speed test
- Equal to ambient temperature: When engine is cold
If value is -40°C (-40°F) or 150°C (302°F), ATF temperature sensor circuit is open or shorted Powertrain > Transmission > Data List
Tester Display A/T Oil Temperature No. 1 Result
Result Proceed to Data List value is normal A Data List value is not normal B
Result:
A
See step 3
Result:
B
See step 2
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR - ECM)
- Disconnect the C56 ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C56-86 (THO1) - C56-133 (ETHW) Always 79 Ω to 156 kΩ C56-133 (ETHW) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher C56-86 (THO1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher HINT:
If the resistance is out of the specified range at any of the ATF temperatures 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
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
See step 4
Result:
OK
See step 3
- REPLACE ECM
- Replace the ECM.
Refer to COMPONENTS [04/2018 -]

PERFORM REGISTRATION. Refer to REGISTRATION [04/2018 -]
- Replace the ECM.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)
- Disconnect the C52 transmission wire connector.
- Disconnect the C56 ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C52-1 (OT+) or C56-86 (THO1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher C52-2 (OT-) or C56-133 (ETHW) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
REPLACE TRANSMISSION WIRE (ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR). Refer to COMPONENTS [04/2018 -]
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)
