TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30±E)7A1±25
DTC P0218 Transmission Fluid Over Temperature
D07R200004
Circuit Description
The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is a
thermister that controls the signal voltage to the PCM.
The PCM supplies a 5±volt reference to the sensor on
circuit RED/BLK. When the transmission fluid is cold, the
sensor resistance is high and the PCM will sense high
signal voltage. As the fluid temperature warms to a
normal transmission operating temperature of 100
C
(212
F), the sensor resistance becomes less and the
voltage decreases to 1.5 to 2.0 volts.
This DTC detects a high transmission temperature for a
long period of time. This is a type ªDº DTC.
Conditions For Setting The DTC

No TFT DTCs P0712 or P0713.

TFT is greater than 135
C (275
F).

All conditions met for 21 seconds.
Action Taken When The DTC Sets

Hot mode TCC Shift Pattern.

The PCM will not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL).

ATF Lamp ON. (TFT is greater than 145
C (293
F))

Disable E±side TCC OFF request.
Conditions For Clearing The DTC

The DTC can be cleared from the PCM history by
using a scan tool.

The DTC will be cleared from history when the vehicle
has achieved 40 warm±up cycles without a failure
reported.
The PCM will cancel the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition is cycled ªoffº
long enough to power down the PCM.
Diagnostic Aids

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at
the PCM and transmission 7-way connector. Look
for possible bent, backed out, deformed or damaged
terminals. Check for weak terminal tension as well.
Also check for a chafed wire that could short to bare
metal or other wiring. Inspect for a broken wire inside
the insulation.

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.

Check harness routing for a potential short to ground
in circuit RED/BLK.

Scan tool TFT sensor temperature should rise
steadily to about 100
C (212
F), then stabilize.

Check for a ªskewedº (mis±scaled) sensor by
comparing the TFT sensor temperature to the
ambient temperature after a vehicle cold soak. A
ªskewedº sensor can cause delayed garage shifts or
TCC complaints.

Check for a possible torque converter stator problem.

Verify customer driving habits, trailer towing, etc.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic chart.
3. This test checks for a ªskewedº sensor or shorted
circuit.
4. This test simulates a TFT DTC P0713.

DTC P0712 Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor Circuit Low Input
D07R200004
Circuit Description
The TFT sensor is a thermister that controls the signal
voltage to the PCM. The PCM supplies a 5±volt reference
signal to the sensor on circuit RED/BLK. When the
transmission fluid is cold, the sensor resistance is high.
The PCM detects high signal voltage. As the
transmission fluid temperature increases to the normal
operating temperature of 100
C (212
F), the sensor
resistance becomes less and the voltage decreases to
1.5 to 2 volts. With transmission fluid over temperature
and DTC P0218 also set, check the transmission cooling
system.
This DTC detects a continuous short to ground in the TFT
signal circuit or the TFT sensor. This is a type ªDº DTC.
Conditions For Setting The DTC

Battery voltage is between 10 and 16 volts.

Ignition is ªonº.

TFT sensor indicating a voltage less than 0.4 volts.

All conditions met for 20 seconds.
Action Taken When The DTC Sets

Transmission default temperature will be:
80
C (176
F) if engine temperature code is set.
100
C (212
F) if engine temperature is warm.
80
C (176
F) if engine run time is greater than 5
minutes.
21
C (69.8
F) if engine run time is less than 5
minutes.

The PCM will not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL).
Conditions For Clearing The DTC

The DTC can be cleared from the PCM history by
using a scan tool.
The DTC will be cleared from history when the vehicle
has achieved 40 warmup cycles without a failure
reported.

The PCM will cancel the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition is cycled ªoffº
long enough to power down the PCM.
Diagnostic Aids

Check harness routing for a potential short to ground
in circuit RED/BLK. Scan tool TFT display should rise
steadily to about 100
C (212
F), then stabilize.

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connection at the
PCM and transmission 7-way connector. Look for
possible bent, backed out, deformed or damaged
terminals. Check for weak terminal tension as well.
Also check for a chafed wire that could short to bare
metal or other wiring. Inspect for a broken wire inside
the insulation.

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.

The temperature to resistance value scale may be
used to test the TFT sensor at the various
temperature levels to evaluate the possibility of a
ªskewedº (mis±scaled) sensor.
A ªskewedº sensor could result in delayed garage
shifts or TCC complaints.

Verify customer driving habits, trailer towing, etc.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic chart:
3. This test checks for a short to ground or a ªskewedº
sensor.
4. This test checks for an internal fault within the
transmission by creating an open.
