DESCRIPTION
The Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) temperature sensor converts the ATF temperature into a
resistance value which is input into the ECM.
The ECM applies a voltage to the temperature sensor through ECM terminal THO1.
The sensor resistance changes with the ATF temperature.
One terminal of the sensor is grounded so that the sensor resistance and voltage decrease as the
temperature becomes higher.
The ECM calculates the ATF based on the voltage signal.
DTC No.
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P0710
ATF temperature sensor resistance changes

from (a) to (b) or from (b) to (a) in less than
0.5 sec., and P0712 and P0713 are not
detected (1 trip detection logic):
(a) ATF temperature sensor resistance is less
than 79
(b) ATF temperature sensor resistance is
more than 156 k
Open or short in ATF temperature sensor

15 minutes or more after the engine start, ATF

temperature sensor resistance is more than
156 k for 0.5 sec. or more (1 trip detection

ECM
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
ATF temperature sensor converts ATF temperature to an electrical resistance value. Based on the
resistance, the ECM determines the ATF temperature, and the ECM detects an open or short in the ATF
temperature circuit. If the resistance value of the ATF temperature is less than 79 *1 or more than 156
k*2, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the ATF sensor or wiring. The ECM will illuminate the MIL and
store the DTC.
HINT:
*1: 150C (302F) or more is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
*2: -40C (-40F) is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
The ATF temperature can be checked on the intelligent tester display.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
AX
HINT:
Using the intelligent tester's DATA LIST allows switch, sensor, actuator and other item values to be read
without removing any parts. Reading the DATA LIST early in troubleshooting is one way to save time.
NOTICE:
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 intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
5. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST.
6. Follow the instructions on the tester and read the DATA LIST.

ATF temperature sensor value/

Min.: -40C (-40F)
Max.: 215C (419F)
If value is -40C (-40F) or "150C

open or short circuited
After stall test:

Approximately 80C (176F)
Equal to ambient temperature
while engine is cold
HINT:
When DTC P0712 is output and the tester output is 150C (302F) or more, there is a short circuit.
When DTC P0713 is output and the tester output is -40C (-40F), there is an open circuit.
Measure the resistance between terminal THO1 (THO) and the body ground.

HINT:
If a circuit related to the ATF temperature sensor becomes open, P0713 is set in approximately 0.5
seconds. It is not necessary to inspect the circuit when P0711 is set.
