DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

TCM conducts fault detection by monitoring the ter-
minal voltage of the transmission fluid temperature 
sensor.

• <P0712>: If transmission fluid temperature 

equals or exceeds specified value, TCM judges 
that transmission fluid temperature sensor has a 
failure.

• <P0713>: If transmission fluid temperature is 

below specified value even after test driving for 
more than the specified period, the TCM judges 
that the transmission fluid temperature sensor 
has a failure.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS 
<P0712>

• TCM detects the fluid temperature 180°C (356°F) 

or more for 5 seconds.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION <P0712>

• Continuous

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III data list
Item 5: Transmission fluid temperature sensor signal (Refer to 
Data List Reference Table 

P.23A-127

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Intermittent malfunction
NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the following connector:

• B-125 Transaxle assembly connector

• C-37 TCM connector

• A-12 Intermediate connector

Check the terminals for a contact status problem and internal 
short circuit.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair the defective connector.

STEP 3. Check for open circuit and short to ground in the 
wiring harness between the CVT assembly connector and 
the TCM connector
Between B-125 CVT assembly connector (terminal No.17) and 
C-37 TCM connector (terminal No.50)
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 4. Check for open circuit in the wiring harness 
between the CVT assembly connector and the TCM 
connector
Between B-125 CVT assembly connector (terminal No.19) and 
C-37 TCM connector (terminal No.48)
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 5. Transmission fluid temperature sensor check
Refer to 

P.23A-147

.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Replace the valve body assembly.

STEP 6. Symptom recheck after erasing diagnostic trouble 
code
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Intermittent malfunction
NO :  Replace TCM.
