P0713 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor 'A' Circuit High Input - General Information
Component Location
General Description
2 Oil temperature sensors are installed in Automatic-transmission, one of oil temperature measure measure for oil temperature in Automatic transmission and other one measure for ATF temperature. The automatic TRANSAXLE fluid (ATF) temperature provides very important data for the TCM's control of the Torque Converter Clutch, and is also used for many other purposes.
DTC Description
TCM set this code If ATF temperature sensor that installed in Mechatronic module short to Battery (MIL ON : 2 driving Cycle)
DTC Detecting Condition
CAUTION :
1. The function with the higher priority will always take precedence. However, a low-priority is not overruled by a higher priority function.
2. Functions from different priority categories can also run in parallel. It is important to note which function will take precedence in this case.
3. In such an event it is possible for a substitute function with low priority not be carried out if a second, higher-priority function is present. This has been taken into account when compiling the priority list and is international.
4. The mechanical emergency run function must always have the highest priority, since from the electrical standpoint it is the only safe condition.
