YES -If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the 
original PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). If any other DTCs were indicated in step 20, go to 
the indicated DTCs troubleshooting. 

NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for intermittent short to body ground in the wire between the 
ATF temperature sensor and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM (see 
SUBSTITUTING THE PCM ), then go to step 19. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the 
screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 19. 

DTC P0713: OPEN IN ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT 

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).  

2. Check the ATF TEMP SENSOR voltage in the DATA LIST with the HDS. 

Does the ATF TEMP SENSOR voltage exceed 4.93 V?  

YES -Go to step 3. 

NO -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals 
between the ATF temperature sensor and the PCM. 

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.  

4. Disconnect the shift solenoid harness connector.  

5. Connect shift solenoid harness connector terminals No. 6 and No. 7 with a jumper wire.

NOTE:

Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board 
snapshot, and review General Troubleshooting Information (see GENERAL

7. Check the ATF TEMP SENSOR voltage in the DATA LIST with the HDS. 

Does the ATF TEMP SENSOR voltage exceed 4.93 V?  

YES -Go to step 8. 

NO -Replace the ATF temperature sensor (see ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR 
TEST/REPLACEMENT
 ), then go to step 18. 

8. Turn the ignition switch OFF.  

9. Remove the jumper wire from the shift solenoid harness connector.  

10. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).  

11. Measure the voltage between shift solenoid harness connector terminal No. 6 and body ground.

then go to step 18. 

NO -Go to step 24. 

18. Reconnect all connectors.  

19. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).  

20. Clear the DTC with the HDS.  

21. Start the engine in the P position, and wait for at least 20 seconds.  

22. Check for DTCs with the HDS. 

Is DTC P0713 indicated?  

YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals between the ATF temperature sensor and the PCM, 
then go to step 1. 

NO -Go to step 23. 

23. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0713 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. 

Does the screen indicate PASSED?  

YES -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other DTCs were indicated in step 22, go to the indicated 
DTCs troubleshooting. 

NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals between the ATF 
temperature sensor and the PCM, then go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 
21. 

24. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE PCM ), or substitute a
