Toyota Corolla Cross: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Short To Ground (P071011)
DESCRIPTION
The CVT fluid temperature sensor converts the CVT fluid temperature into a resistance value for use 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.

Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Short To Ground |
When the auxiliary battery voltage is 8 V or more and the ignition switch is to ON, the CVT fluid temperature sensor voltage is less than 0.142 V for 0.5 seconds (1-trip detection logic). |

SAE Code: P0712 |
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 can detect a short to ground in the CVT fluid temperature circuit. If the resistance value of the CVT fluid temperature is less than 79 Ω*, the TCM interprets this as a malfunction of the CVT fluid temperature sensor or wiring, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.
*: 150°C (302°F) or more is indicated regardless of the actual CVT fluid temperature.
HINT:
The CVT fluid temperature can be checked in the Data List.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
HINT:
- After repairs have been completed, clear the DTCs and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.
- When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the Clear Permanent DTC procedure.

- 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.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
- Wait for 3 seconds or more with the ignition switch to ON. [*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: P071011.
- Check the DTC judgment result.

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.
