Toyota Corolla Cross: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance (P071000)

Toyota Corolla Cross (2022-2024) Service Manual / Drivetrain / K120 (cvt) / Continuously Variable Transaxle System / Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance (P071000)

DESCRIPTION

The CVT fluid temperature sensor converts the fluid temperature into a resistance value which is detected 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 detects an open or short circuit in the CVT fluid temperature circuit.

After driving the vehicle for a certain amount of time, the CVT fluid temperature should increase. If the CVT fluid temperature remains below 20°C (68°F), the TCM interprets this as a malfunction, stores a DTC and illuminates the MIL.

When the engine coolant temperature reaches 35°C (95°F) after a cold engine start, if the CVT fluid temperature is 100°C (212°F) or more, the TCM interprets this as a malfunction, illuminates the MIL, and stores this DTC.

Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
Start the engine and turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Data List / A/T Oil Temperature No.1.
Warm up the engine and check that the Data List value (A/T Oil Temperature No.1) is between 20 and 100°C (68 and 212°F). [*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: P071000.

Check the DTC judgment result.

GTS Display	Description
NORMAL	DTC judgment completed System normal
ABNORMAL	DTC judgment completed System abnormal
INCOMPLETE	DTC judgment not completed Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
N/A	Unable to perform DTC judgment Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

HINT:

If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the normal judgment procedure again.
