DTC |
P071015 |
Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Battery or Open |
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.

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.

- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
- Turn the engine switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
- Start the engine.
-
for Mexico Models:
Wait for 15 minutes or more with the engine running.
-
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.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Utility / All Readiness.
- Input the DTC: P071015.
-
Check the DTC judgment result.
