Caution / Notice / Hint

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:
  1. DATA LIST 

    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.

    NOTE:

    In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.

    1. Warm up the engine.
    2. Turn the ignition switch off.
    3. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    5. Turn the Techstream on.
    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.
    7. According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.

      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > 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.: 150°C (302°F)
      • After stall test: Approx. 80°C (176°F)
      • Equal to ambient temperature after cold soak
      If the value is "-40°C (-40°F)" or "150°C (302°F)", the ATF temperature sensor circuit is open or shorted.

      Tester Display
      A/T Oil Temperature 1

      HINT: 

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

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

      Check the temperature displayed on the Techstream in order to check if a malfunction exists.

      Temperature Displayed Malfunction
      -40°C (-40°F) Open circuit
      150°C (302°F) or higher Short circuit

      If the circuit related to the ATF temperature sensor becomes open, P0713 is immediately stored (in 0.5 seconds). When P0713 is stored, P0711 cannot be stored.

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