5800570003004c00560003001400180013008300260003000b[302°F) or more, there is a short circuit. When
DTC P0713 is output and hand-held tester output is -40°C (-40°F), there is an open circuit. Measure the
resistance between terminal OIL (OT) and body ground.
CHECKING CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION TABLE
HINT:
If a circuit related to the ATF temperature sensor becomes open, P0713 is immediately set (in 0.5 second).
When P0713 is set, P0711 cannot be detected.
It is not necessary to inspect the circuit when P0711 is set.
1.INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR)
a. Disconnect the transmission wire connector from the transmission.
b. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Temperature DisplayedMalfunction
-40°C (-40° F)Open circuit
150°C (302°F) or moreShort circuit

HINT:
According to the DATA LIST displayed by the hand-held tester, you can read the value of the switch, sensor,
actuator and so on without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as the first step of troubleshooting is one
method to shorten labor time.
a. Warm up the engine.
b. Turn the ignition switch off.
c. Connect the hand-held tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle interface
module) to the DLC3.
d. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
e. Push the "ON" button of the hand-held tester.
f. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/DATA LIST".
g. According to the display on tester, read the "DATA LIST".

3.INSPECT EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
a. Start the engine. Disconnect the vacuum hose as shown in the illustration.
b. From the hand-held tester ACTIVE TEST mode, select PURGE VSV. Check that a vacuum occurs
at the VSV port.
c. Exit ACTIVE TEST mode and reconnect the vacuum hose.
d. From the hand-held tester ECU DATA MONITOR mode, select PURGE VSV. Check operation of
the purge VSV.
e. Warm up the engine and drive the vehicle. Confirm that the purge VSV is turned from OFF to ON.

4.VISUALLY INSPECT HOSES, CONNECTIONS AND GASKETS
a. Check for cracks, leaks or damage.
HINT:
Possible leakage points are indicated in the illustration.
Removal or problems with the engine oil dipstick, filler cap, PCV hose and other components may
cause the engine to run improperly. Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air
induction system between the throttle body and cylinder head will allow air suction and cause the
engine trouble.

HINT:
Please refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual for further details.
9.INSPECT COMPRESSION
a. Remove the V-bank cover.
b. Remove the air cleaner inlet and intake air pipe.
c. Disconnect the throttle control motor connector.
d. Remove the oil level gauge guide.
e. Remove the 8 i
gnition coils.

HINT:
If adding oil increases the compression, the piston rings and/or cylinder bore may be worn or
damaged.
If pressure stays low, a valve may be stuck or seated improperly, or there may be leakage in
the gasket.
i. Connect the 8 injector connectors.
j. Install the spark plugs.
k. Install the 8 ignition coils.
l. Install the oil level gauge guide.
m. Connect the throttle control motor connector.
n. Install the air cleaner inlet and intake air pipe.
o. Install the V-bank cover.
10.INSPECT CO/HC
a. Start the engine.
b. Rev the engine at 2,500 rpm for approximately 180 seconds.

c. If there is noticeable wear or cracks on the belt face, check to see if there are nicks on the side of
the idler pulley lock and water pump.
d. If there is wear or damage on only one side of the belt, check the belt guide and the alignment of
each pulley.
e. If there is noticeable wear on the belt teeth, check the timing cover for damage, check that the
gasket has been installed correctly, and check for foreign material on the pulley teeth.
If necessary, replace the timing belt.
17.INSPECT TIMING BELT TENSIONER
a. Visually check the seal portion of the tensioner for oil leakage.
HINT:
If there is only the faint trace of oil on the push rod, the tensioner does not need to be replaced.
If leaka
ge is found, replace the tensioner.

6. Remove the bearing caps.
7. Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.
Standard oil clearance:
0.030 to 0.067 mm (0.0012 to 0.0026 in.)
Maximum oil clearance: 0.100 mm (0.0039 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the No. 2 camshaft. If
necessary, replace the bearing caps and cylinder head as a set.
8. Completely remove the Plastigage.
