MONITOR DESCRIPTION
These DTCs indicate an open or short in the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature sensor circuit. The
automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature sensor converts ATF temperature to an electrical resistance
value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the ATF temperature, and the ECM detects an opens or
shorts in the ATF temperature circuit. If the resistance value of the ATF temperature is less than 79ohms*1 or
more than 156kohms*2, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the ATF sensor or wiring. The ECM will turn on
the MIL and store the DTC.
*1: 150°C (302°F) or more is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
*2: -40°C (-40°F) is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
HINT:
The ATF temperature can be checked on the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester display.

DTC P0711: TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR "A" PERFORMANCE
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
See CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION .
Fig. 66: DTC Reference Chart

Courtesy of TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, U.S.A., INC.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that there is a problem with output from the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature
sensor and that the sensor itself is defective. The ATF temperature sensor converts the ATF temperature to an
electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the ATF temperature and detects an
opens or shorts in the ATF temperature circuit or a fault of the ATF temperature sensor. After running the
vehicle for a certain period, the ATF temperature should increase. If the ATF temperature is below 10°C (50°F)
after running the vehicle for a certain period, the ECM interprets this as a fault, and turns on the MIL.
MONITOR STRATEGY

It is not necessary to inspect the circuit when P0711 is set.
1.CHECK OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0711)
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and push the hand-held tester main switch ON.
c. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/DTC INFO/CURRENT CODES".
d. Read the DTCs using the hand-held tester.
Result:
DTC OUTPUT RESULT TABLE
HINT:
If any other codes besides "P0711" are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
B: GO TO RELEVANT DTC CHART (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
)
A: Go to next step
2.CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL (See ADJUSTMENT
- AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION FLUID )
OK:
Automatic transmission fluid level is correct.
NG: ADD FLUID
OK: REPLACE TRANSMISSION WIRE (See step 5 on REPLACEMENT
)
DTC P0717: TURBINE SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT NO SIGNAL
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the rotation speed of the turbine which shows the input revolution of transmission. By
comparing the input turbine speed signal (NT) with the counter gear speed sensor signal (SP2), the ECM detects
the shift timing of the gears and appropriately controls the engine torque and hydraulic pressure according to
various conditions. Thus, providin
g smooth gear shift.

DTC P0729: GEAR 6 INCORRECT RATIO
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses signals from the output speed sensor SP2 and input speed sensor NT to detect the actual gear
position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear). Then the ECM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in
the ECM memory to detect mechanical problems of the shift solenoid valves, valve body or automatic
transmission (clutch, brake or gear, etc.).

DTC P0778: PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID "B" ELECTRICAL (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE
SL2)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Shifting from 1st to 6th is performed in combination with "ON" and "OFF" operation of the shift solenoid
valves SL1, SL2, S1, S2, S3, S4 and SR which is controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in
either of the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valve to allow the
vehicle to be operated smoothly (see FAIL
-SAFE CHART ).
