DTC DETECTION LOGIC

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:

Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.

NOTE:

Immediately after performing any “DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE”, always turn ignition switch OFF.

Then wait at least 10 seconds before performing the next test.

1.

CHECK DTC DETECTION (PART 1)

1. Start the engine.

2. Maintain the following condition for 5 seconds or more.

3. Stop the vehicle.

4. Check the first trip DTC.
Is “P0710” detected?

YES

>> Go to 

TM-54, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

NO

>> GO TO 2.

2.

CHECK DTC DETECTION (PART 2)

With CONSULT

1. Turn ignition switch OFF and cool the engine.

2. Turn ignition switch ON.

CAUTION:

Never start the engine.

3. Select “Data Monitor” in “TRANSMISSION”.

4. Select “FLUID TEMP”.

5. Record CVT fluid temperature.

6. Start the engine and wait for at least 2 minutes.

7. Drive the vehicle for the total minutes specified in the Driving time column below with the following condi-

tions satisfied.

Possible cause

P0710

Transmission Fluid Tempera-
ture Sensor A Circuit

During running, the CVT fluid temperature 
sensor signal voltage is excessively high or 
low.

• Harness or connectors

(Sensor circuit is open or shorted.)

• CVT fluid temperature sensor

CVT fluid temperature does not rise to 10

°C 

(50

°F) after driving for a certain period of 

time with the TCM-received fluid tempera-
ture sensor value between 

−40°C (−40°F) 

and 9

°C (48.2°F).

The following conditions are maintained for 
5 minutes after the completion of engine di-
agnosis P0111, P0116, and P0196:
• CVT fluid temperature 

− Engine coolant 

temperature > 55

°C (131°F)

• CVT fluid temperature 

− Engine coolant 

temperature <

8. Stop the vehicle.

9. Check the first trip DTC.

With GST

1. Turn ignition switch OFF and cool the engine.

2. Start the engine and wait for at least 2 minutes.

3. Drive the vehicle and maintain the following conditions for 17 minutes or more.

4. Stop the vehicle.

5. Check the first trip DTC.
Is “P0710” detected?

YES

>> Go to 

TM-54, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

NO

>> GO TO 3.

3.

CHECK CVT FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.

2. Disconnect CVT unit connector.

3. Check resistance between CVT unit connector terminals. 

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> INSPECTION END

NO

>> Replace the transaxle assembly due to malfunction in the CVT fluid temperature sensor. Refer to

TM-188, "Exploded View"

.
