connection or loose wiring. Terminals and grounds should
always be the prime suspect. Intermittents rarely occur
inside sophisticated electronic components such as the
PCM.
Use the DTC information to understand which wires and
sensors are involved.
When an intermittent problem is encountered, check
suspect circuits for:

1. Poor terminal to wire connection.
2. Terminals not fully seated in the connector body

(backed out).

3. Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
4. Loose, dirty, or corroded ground connections:

HINT: Any time you have an intermittent in more than
one circuit, check whether the circuits share a
common ground connection.

5. Pinched or damaged wires.
6. Electro–Magnetic Interference (EMI):

HINT: Check that all wires are properly routed away
from spark plug wires, distributor wires, coil, and
generator. Also check for improperly installed
electrical options, such as lights, 2–way radios, etc.

Use the F3 SNAPSHOT mode of the Tech2 to help isolate
the cause of an intermittent fault. The snapshot mode will
record information before and after the problem occurs.
Set the snapshot to “trigger” on the suspect DTC.  If you
notice the reported symptom during the test drive, trigger
the snapshot manually.
After the snapshot has been triggered, command the
Tech2 to play back the flow of data recorded from each of
the various sensors. Signs of an intermittent fault in a
sensor circuit are sudden unexplainable jump in data
values out of the normal range.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30–E)

7A1–25

DTC P0218 Transmission Fluid Over Temperature

D07RW029

Circuit Description

The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is a
thermister that controls the signal voltage to the PCM.
The PCM supplies a 5–volt reference to the sensor on
circuit RED/BLK–GRN/RED. When the transmission fluid
is cold, the sensor resistance is high and the PCM will
sense high signal voltage.  As the fluid temperature
warms to a normal transmission operating temperature of
100

°

C (212

°

F), the sensor resistance becomes less and

the voltage decreases to 1.5 to 2.0 volts.
This DTC detects a high transmission temperature for a
long period of time.  This is a type “D” DTC.

Conditions For Setting The DTC

D

No TFT DTCs P0712 or P0713.

D

TFT is greater than 135

°

C (275

°

F).

D

All conditions met for 21 seconds.

Action Taken When The DTC Sets

D

Hot mode TCC Shift Pattern.

D

The PCM will not illuminate the CHECK TRANS
Lamp.

D

ATF Lamp ON. (TFT is greater than 145

°

C (293

°

F).)

D

Disable E–side TCC OFF request.

Conditions For Clearing The DTC

D

The DTC can be cleared from the PCM history by
using a scan tool.  

D

The DTC will be cleared from history when the vehicle
has achieved 40 warm–up cycles without a failure
reported.

D

The PCM will cancel the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition is cycled “off”
long enough to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids

D

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at
the PCM and at the transmission 16–way connector.
Look for possible bent, backed out, deformed, or
damaged terminals. Check for weak terminal tension
as well.

Also check for a chafed wire that could short to bare
metal or other wiring.  Inspect for a broken wire inside
the insulation.

D

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.

D

Check harness routing for a potential short to ground
in circuit RED/BLK–GRN/RED.

D

Scan tool TFT sensor temperature should rise
steadily to about 100

°

C (212

°

F), then stabilize.

D

Check for a “skewed” (mis–scaled) sensor by
comparing the TFT sensor temperature to the
ambient temperature after a vehicle cold soak.  A
“skewed” sensor can cause delayed garage shifts or
TCC complaints.

D

Check for a possible torque converter stator problem.

D

Verify customer driving habits, trailer towing, etc.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic chart.
3. This test checks for a “skewed” sensor or shorted

circuit.

4. This test simulates a TFT DTC P0713.
