DTC P0713 (28) Advanced Diagnostics

DTC P0713:

Open in ATF Temperature Sensor Circuit





General Description

The ATF temperature sensor is a thermistor type sensor that changes resistance according to the change in ATF temperature. The powertrain control module (PCM) sends a 5 V reference voltage to the sensor through a pull-up resistor. When the ATF temperature is low, the sensor resistance increases and the PCM detects a high signal voltage. As the ATF temperature rises, the sensor resistance decreases and the PCM detects a low signal voltage. When the ATF temperature sensor signal voltage to the PCM is above the specification, indicating that the temperature is under the specification (open), the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Enable Conditions





Malfunction Threshold

The ATF temperature sensor output voltage is 4.93 V or more for at least 10 seconds.

Driving Pattern

1. Start the engine.
2. Shift to P, and wait at least 10 seconds.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for setting the DTC

When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, a Confirmed DTC and the freeze data are stored. The MIL does not come on.

Conditions for clearing the DTC

The Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
