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.
^ 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).
2. Check the ATF TEMP SENSOR voltage in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

Does the ATF TEMP SENSOR voltage 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 between the ATF temperature sensor and the PCM.

3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Disconnect the shift solenoid harness connector.
5. Connect shift solenoid harness connector terminals No. 6 and No. 7 with a jumper wire.





6. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
7. Check the ATF TEMP SENSOR voltage in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

Does the ATF TEMP SENSOR voltage exceed 4.93 V?

YES - Go to step 8.

NO - Replace the ATF temperature sensor, then go to step 21.

8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
9. Remove the jumper wire from the shift solenoid harness connector.
10. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
11. Measure the voltage between shift solenoid harness connector terminal No. 6 and body ground.





Is thereabout 5 V?

YES - Go to step 12.

NO - Go to step 17.

12. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
13. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
14. Disconnect PCM connector B (44P).
15. Connect shift solenoid harness connector terminal No. 7 and body ground with a jumper wire.





16. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal B33 and body ground.





Is there continuity?

YES - Go to step 27.

NO - Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal B33 and the ATF temperature sensor, then go to step 21.

17. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
18. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
19. Disconnect PCM connector B (44P).
20. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal B27 and shift solenoid harness connector terminal No. 6.





Is there continuity?

YES - Go to step 27.

NO - Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal B27 and the ATF temperature sensor, then go to step 21.

21. Reconnect all connectors.
22. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
23. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
24. Start the engine with the shift lever in P, and wait for at least 20 seconds.
25. Check for DTCs 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 26.

26. 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 DTCs were indicated in step 25, 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 24.

27. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known good PCM.
28. Start the engine with the shift lever in P, and wait for at least 20 seconds.
29. Check for DTCs 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, then go to step 28. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1.

NO - Go to step 30.

30. 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. If any other DTCs were indicated in step 29, 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, then go to step 28. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 28.
