K121 CVT  CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSAXLE SYSTEM  P071015  Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Battery or Open  


DESCRIPTION

The CVT fluid temperature sensor converts the CVT fluid temperature into a resistance value for use by the ECM.

The sensor resistance changes with the CVT fluid temperature. As the temperature rises, the sensor resistance decreases. The ECM applies voltage to the temperature sensor through ECM 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.

600 seconds or more have elapsed since engine start (engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature were -29.375°C (-20.875°F) or less at engine start).

·

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The CVT fluid temperature sensor converts the CVT fluid temperature to an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the CVT fluid temperature and can detect an open in the CVT fluid temperature circuit. If the resistance value of the CVT fluid temperature is more than 156 kΩ*, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the CVT fluid temperature sensor or wiring, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

*: -40°C (-40°F) 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.

Click hereDrivetrain>K121 (CVT)>CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSAXLE SYSTEM>DTC CHECK / CLEAR



1.

Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

2.

Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.

3.

Wait for 10 minutes or more with the engine running. [*1]

HINT:

[*1]: Normal judgment procedure.

The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.


4.

Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

5.

Input the DTC: P071015.

6.

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.




PROCEDURE

1.READ VALUE USING GTS (A/T OIL TEMPERATURE NO.1)

Pre-procedure1

a.

Warm up the engine.


Procedure1

b.

According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.

Powertrain > Engine > Data List
Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
A/T Oil Temperature No.1 CVT fluid temperature sensor value Min.: -40°C (-40°F)
Max.: 150°C (302°F)
or Invalid Value
·

Approximately 100°C (212°F): After stall speed test

·

Equal to ambient temperature: After cold soak


If the value is -40°C (-40°F) or 150°C (302°F) or more, the CVT fluid temperature sensor circuit is open or shorted.
