DTC P0712: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Low Input; DTC P0713: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit High Input: Procedure

  1. INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR) 
    1. Disconnect the transmission wire connector from the transaxle.

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

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 (THO) - 6 (E2) Always 79 Ω to 156 kΩ
      1 (THO) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      6 (E2) - Body ground Always

      HINT: 

      If the resistance is out of the specified range with either 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

    NG → See step   3 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM) 
    1. Connect the transmission wire connector to the transaxle.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connectors.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B29-70 (THO1) - B29-71 (ETHO) Always 79 Ω to 156 kΩ
    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance (Check for short)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B29-70 (THO1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      B29-71 (ETHO) - Body ground Always

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   4 

  3. REPAIR OR REPLACE TRANSMISSION WIRE. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  4. REPLACE ECM (for 2ZR-FE). Refer to  REMOVAL
