DTC P0713: Open in ATF Temperature Sensor Circuit

NOTE:
  • Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot with the HDS, and review General Troubleshooting Information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION )
  • This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode
  2. Check the ATF temperature sensor voltage with the HDS in the A/T Data List

    Does the ATF Temp Sensor (V) exceed 4 93 V? 

    YES  -Go to step 3

    NO  -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ATF temperature sensor and the PCM

  3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode
  4. Disconnect the ATF temperature sensor connector at the transmission end cover
  5. Connect ATF temperature sensor connector terminal No 2 to body ground with a jumper wire

  6. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode
  7. Check the ATF temperature sensor voltage with the HDS in the A/T Data List

    Does the ATF Temp Sensor (V) drop to 0 07 V or below? 

    YES  -Go to step 8

    NO  -Go to step  13

  8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode
  9. Remove the jumper wire
  10. Connect ATF temperature sensor connector terminals No 1 and No 2 with a jumper wire

  11. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode
  12. Check the ATF temperature sensor voltage with the HDS in the A/T Data List

    13. Does the ATF Temp Sensor (V) remain 0 07 V or below? 

    YES  -Replace the ATF temperature sensor (see ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT ), then go to step  18

    NO  -Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal C16 and the ATF temperature sensor connector terminal No 1, then go to step  18.

  13. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode
  14. Remove the jumper wire.
  15. Jump the SCS line with the HDS
  16. Disconnect PCM connector C (49P)
  17. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal C33 and ATF temperature sensor connector terminal No 2.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Check for poor connections or loose terminals between the ATF temperature sensor and the PCM If the connections are OK, go to step  24

    NO  -Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal C33 and the ATF temperature sensor connector terminal No 2, then go to step 18.

  18. Reconnect all connectors
  19. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode
  20. Clear the DTC with the HDS
  21. Start the engine in P, and wait for at least 20 seconds.
  22. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTC with the HDS

    Is DTC P0713 indicated? 

    YES  -Check for poor connections or loose terminals between the ATF temperature sensor and the PCM, then go to step  1

    NO  -Go to step 23

  23. Monitor the OBD status for P0713 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS

    Does the HDS indicate PASSED? 

    YES  -Troubleshooting is complete If any other Pending or Confirmed DTC were indicated in step 22, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting

    NO  -If the HDS indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals between the ATF temperature sensor and the PCM, then go to step  1 If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step  21

  24. Reconnect all connectors
  25. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software (see ECM/PCM UPDATE ), or substitute a known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM )
  26. Start the engine in P, and wait for at least 20 seconds
  27. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTC with the HDS

    Is DTC P0713 indicated? 

    YES  -Check for poor connections or loose terminals between the ATF temperature sensor and the PCM If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then go to step  26. If the PCM was substituted, go to step  1.

    NO  -Go to step 28

  28. Monitor the OBD status for P0713 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS

    Does the HDS indicate PASSED? 

    YES  -If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ) If any other Pending or Confirmed DTC were indicated in step  27, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting

    NO  -If the HDS indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals between the ATF temperature sensor and the PCM If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then go to step  26. If the PCM was substituted, go to step  1 If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step  26
