Toyota Corolla Cross: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Battery or Open (P071015)

Toyota Corolla Cross (2022-2024) Service Manual / Drivetrain / K120 (cvt) / Continuously Variable Transaxle System / Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Battery or Open (P071015)

DESCRIPTION

The CVT fluid temperature sensor converts the CVT fluid temperature into a resistance value for use by the TCM.

The sensor resistance changes with the CVT fluid temperature. As the temperature rises, the sensor resistance decreases. The TCM applies voltage to the temperature sensor through TCM terminal THO1 and calculates the fluid temperature based on the voltage signal.

HINT:

The CVT fluid temperature is likely to increase under conditions such as towing, climbing hills and in traffic.

DTC No.

Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Battery or Open

The CVT fluid temperature sensor voltage is more than 4.915 V for 0.5 seconds when either of the following conditions is met (1-trip detection logic):

  • for Mexico Models:

    900 seconds or more have elapsed since engine start (engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature were -29.375°C (-20.875°F) or less at engine start).

  • except Mexico Models:

    600 seconds or more have elapsed since engine start (engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature were -29.375°C (-20.875°F) or less at engine start).

  • 10 seconds or more have elapsed since engine start (engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature were higher than -29.375°C (-20.875°F) at engine start).
  • Wire harness or connector
  • Transmission wire (CVT fluid temperature sensor)
  • TCM

SAE Code:

P0713

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The CVT fluid temperature sensor converts the CVT fluid temperature to an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the TCM determines the CVT fluid temperature and can detect an open in the CVT fluid temperature circuit. If the resistance value of the CVT fluid temperature is more than 156 kΩ*, the TCM interprets this as a malfunction of the CVT fluid temperature sensor or wiring, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

*: -40°C (-40°F) is indicated regardless of the actual CVT fluid temperature.

HINT:

The CVT fluid temperature can be checked in the Data List.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

HINT:

  • After repairs have been completed, clear the DTCs and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.
  • When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the Clear Permanent DTC procedure.

    Click here

  1. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  2. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
  4. Start the engine.
  5. for Mexico Models:

    Wait for 15 minutes or more with the engine running.

  6. except Mexico Models:

    Wait for 10 minutes or more with the engine running. [*1]

    HINT:

    [*1]: Normal judgment procedure.

    The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.

  7. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Utility / All Readiness.
  8. Input the DTC: P071015.
  9. Check the DTC judgment result.

    GTS Display

    Description

    NORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed
    • System normal

    ABNORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed
    • System abnormal

    INCOMPLETE
    • DTC judgment not completed
    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

    N/A
    • Unable to perform DTC judgment
    • Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

    HINT:

    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the normal judgment procedure again.
