PART AND SYSTEM REFERENCE TABLE
malfunctions per driving cycle. "Once per driving
cycle" means that the ECM detects malfunction
only one time during a single driving cycle.
"Continuous" means that the ECM detects
malfunction every time when enabling condition is
met.
DurationThe minimum time that the ECM must sense a
continuous deviation in the monitored value(s)
before setting a DTC. This timing begins after the
"typical enabling conditions" are met.
Malfunction thresholdsBeyond this value, the ECM will conclude that
there is a malfunction and set a DTC.
MIL operationMIL illumination timing after a defect is detected.
"Immediately" means that the ECM illuminates
MIL the instant the ECM determines that there is a
malfunction. "2 driving cycle" means that the ECM
illuminates MIL if the same malfunction is detected
again in the 2nd driving cycle.
Component operating rangeNormal operation range of sensors and solenoids
under normal driving conditions. Use these ranges
as a reference. They cannot be used to judge if a
sensor or solenoid is defective or not.

DTC P0710, P0712, P0713: TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR "A" CIRCUIT
LOW/HIGH INPUT
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature sensor converts the fluid temperature into a resistance
value which is input into the ECM.
The ECM applies a voltage to the temperature sensor through ECM terminal OIL.
The sensor resistance changes with the transmission fluid temperature. As the temperature becomes higher, the
sensor resistance decreases.
One terminal of the sensor is grounded so that the sensor resistance decreases and the voltage goes down as the
temperature becomes higher.
The ECM calculates the fluid temperature based on the volta
ge signal.

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.

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.
