P0710 Transaxle fluid temperature sensor circuit m alfunction (Short/open)
P0711 Transaxle fluid temperature sensor circuit (Stuck)
DESCRIPTION
• Powertrain control module input voltage is less than 0.09 V or over 5.0 V
• The input voltage from the transaxle fluid temperature sensor does not change when driving the
vehicle
POSSIBLE
CAUSE
• Transaxle fluid temperature sensor malfunction
• Damaged wiring or connectors between transaxle fluid temperature sensor and powertrain control
module
• Powertrain control module malfunction
STEP INSPECTION
ACTION
1 Are powertrain control module and transaxle fluid
temperature sensor connections at the connector
and connector pins okay?
Yes Go to next step
No Repair or replace connectors, then go to step 6
2 Check NGS tester display
• Connect NGS tester to data link connector
•
Are transaxle fluid temperature sensor and
NGS tester display correct?
c r 01-40B POWERTRAIN CONTROL
MODULE (PCM) INSPECTION [KL]
Yes Go to step 6
No Go to next step
3 Check for continuity between terminals of
transaxle fluid temperature sensor and powertrain
control module
• Disconnect negative battery cable
• Disconnect transaxle fluid temperature sensor
and powertrain control module connectors
• Is there continuity between powertrain control
module terminal 37 and I terminal at the
transaxle fluid temperature sensor?
• Is there continuity between powertrain control
module terminal 91 and J terminal at the
transaxle fluid temperature sensor?
Yes
Go to next step
No
Repair or replace connectors and wiring, then go to step 6
4 Measure resistance between transaxle fluid
temperature sensor terminals
• Disconnect negative battery cable
• Disconnect transaxle fluid temperature sensor
connector
• Is resistance between terminals correct?

After diagnostic trouble code has been cleared,
recheck if diagnostic trouble code is shown
c r 0 1 -0 1 B ENGINE ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS
[KL]
Yes Return to step 2
No Problem is a temporary poor connection of wiring or
connectors, and should be investigated further, then go to
next step
6
Erase diagnostic trouble code from memory. Can
code be output after performing “After Repair
Procedure”?
Yes Go to appropriate inspection procedure
No Finished
