DTC P0713
Circuit Description
The transmission fl uid temperature (TFT) sensor is part
of the pressure switch manifold (PSM) assembly, and
is located in the transmission oil pan. The transmission
control module (TCM) supplies a 5-volt reference
voltage signal to the TFT sensor and measures the
voltage drop in the circuit. When the transmission is
cold, the sensor resistance is high and the TCM detects
high signal voltage. As the fl uid temperature warms to a
normal operating temperature, the resistance becomes
less and the signal voltage decreases. The TCM uses
this information to control shift quality and torque
converter clutch (TCC) apply.
DTC P0713 is a type B DTC.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
• DTC P0713 Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT)
Sensor Circuit - High Input
Conditions for Running the DTC
• DTC P0711 and P0712 are not active.
• The components are powered and ignition voltage is
greater than 9.0 volts and less than 18 volts.
• Engine speed is greater than 200 RPM and less than
7,500 RPM for 5 seconds.
• The engine has been running for 20 seconds with a
coolant temperature above 20°C (68°F).
Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0713 sets when the TCM detects a voltage
greater than 4.84 volts for 2.5 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The TCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the
Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.
• The TCM uses a TFT default value.
• The TCM freezes shift adapts.
• The TCM stores this information as Failure Records.
• The TCM stores DTC P0713 in TCM history.
• The TCM inhibits TCC engagement.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A scan tool can clear the code from TCM history. The
