1.Turn the ignition OFF.

2.Disconnect TCM C79.

3.Using the DVOM and the J 35616-C, in sequence, test the sig-
nal circuits 591 (DB), 592 (GY), 594 (DG), and 593 (WH) be-
tween C79 of the TCM and 591 (DB), 592 (GY), 594 (DG), and
593 (WH) of the NSBU switch 12-way connector for a short to
voltage condition.

DTC P0711 Transmission Temperature Sensor Circuit Performance (Figure OBD-66)

Figure OBD-66: Transmission Temperature Sensor Circuit

Circuit Description

The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor is a part of the pressure switch manifold (PSM) assembly, and is located in the
transmission oil pan. The TFT sensor is a thermistor, which changes value based on the temperature of the transmission fluid. The
sensor has a negative-temperature coefficient. This means that as the temperature increases, the resistance decreases, as the temper-
ature decreases the resistance increases. 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 fluid 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 P0711 is a type B DTC.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC P0711 sets when the TCM detects one of the following conditions:

• The TCM detects a temperature change that is below a set limit when compared to samples of the minimum and maximum

temperature values.

• The TFT has an unrealistic temperature change of greater than 10°C (50°F) for 10 occurrences.

• The temperature from startup decreases 40°C (104°F) or greater within a duration of 6 seconds or greater.

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 freezes shift adapts.

• The TCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The TCM stores this informa-

tion as Failure Records.

• The TCM stores DTC P0711 in TCM history.

• The TCM inhibits TCC engagement.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

A scan tool can clear the code from TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle com-
pletes 40 warm-up cycles without failure.

Diagnostic Aids

• The TFT should rise steadily during warm-up cycles, then stabilize.

• DTC P0218 may set after DTC P0711 has set. Follow the diagnostic table for DTC P0711 before proceeding to the diagnos-

tic for DTC P0218.

• Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM. Inspect for the following conditions:

• A bent terminal

• A backed-out terminal

• A damaged terminal

• Poor terminal tension

• A chafed wire

• A broken wire inside the insulation

• When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a

change.

• You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a condition.

• An open condition at circuit 2762 may allow a ground path internally through circuit 2471. If this occurs, the TCM sees a

temperature that appears to be within normal operation, approximately -22°C (-7.6°F), and initially a code will not be
set. However, the transmission will still inhibit shift adapts and TCC operation. It may take several minutes before P0711
code is set to indicate a failure.
