Automatic Transmission

The sensor is an input to the control module K71. The input signal is used to determine the temperature of the fluid: Transmission

The control module uses this data, along with other data, to adjust or control the following:

  • Driver Alert Indicator - Transmission Hot - Idle Engine
  • Line Pressure
  • Torque Converter Clutch
  • Transmission Adaptive Values Learn
  • Transmission Hot Mode
  • Transmission Shifting

Circuit/System Verification

1. Verify the condition does not exist: Incorrect fluid level or condition - Transmission - Refer to Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check

  • If a condition exists

Refer to Fluid Leak Diagnosis

  • Go to next step: If no condition exists

2. Verify the scan tool parameter: Transmission Fluid Temperature=-39 to 199ºC (-39 to 390ºF)

  • If not between -39 and 199ºC (-39 and 390ºF)

Refer to Circuit/System Testing

  • Go to next step: If between -39 and 199ºC (-39 and 390ºF)

3. Operate the cold vehicle above 64 km/h (40 MPH) for 10 min.

Verify the scan tool parameter: Transmission Fluid Temperature=Temperature increases greater than 2ºC (4ºF)

  • If the temperature does not increase 2ºC (4ºF) or greater

Refer to Circuit/System Testing

  • Go to next step: If the temperature increases greater than 2ºC (4ºF)

4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Verify the DTC does not set.

  • If the DTC sets

Refer to Circuit/System Testing

  • Go to next step: If the DTC is not set

5. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

NOTE: It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.

1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off

NOTE: Twisting or tilting of the transmission control module electrical connector while disconnecting may result in bent or misaligned electrical terminal pins.

2. Remove the component: K71 Transmission Control Module.

3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Low: Reference circuit terminal 19 & Transmission Case.

  • If less than infinite resistance

Replace the component: Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness

  • Go to next step: If infinite resistance

4. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 10 & Transmission Case

  • If less than infinite resistance

Replace the component: Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness

  • Go to next step: If infinite resistance

5. Test the resistance between the test points: Low: Reference circuit terminal 19 & Signal circuit terminal 10

Verify the value is within the range listed in the table: Refer to Temperature Versus Resistance (B13 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor) Refer to Temperature Versus Resistance (Q27 Pressure Control Solenoid Valve) Refer to Temperature Versus Resistance (Q32 Shift Solenoid Valve 1)

  • If in the specified range

Replace the component: K71 Transmission Control Module

  • Go to next step: If not in the specified range

6. Test or replace the component: Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair: Refer to Diagnostic Repair Verification

  • Refer to Wiring Harness Wire Replacement - Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness
  • For control module replacement, programming, and setup: Refer to Control Module: References
