2005-2006 Models

NOTE:

Record all freeze data and review General Troubleshooting Information (see 2005-2006 MODELS ) before you troubleshoot.
This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission.

Check ATF temperature sensor voltage with the HDS in the A/T data list.
Does ATF temperature sensor voltage exceed 4.93 V?
1. YES - Go to step 2.
2. NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ATF temperature sensor and PCM.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect the shift solenoid harness connector.
Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
Measure the voltage between shift solenoid harness connector terminal No. 6 and body ground.

Is there about 5 V?
1. YES - Go to step 6.
2. NO - Go to step 7.
Measure the voltage between shift solenoid harness connector terminals No. 6 and No. 7.

Is there about 5 V?
1. YES - Check the ATF temperature sensor and shift solenoid harness in the transmission housing (see ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR TEST/REPLACEMENT ).
2. NO - Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal A23 and the shift solenoid harness connector, then go to step 8.
Measure the voltage between PCM connector terminal C14 and body ground.

Is there about 5 V?
1. YES - Repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal C14 and the shift solenoid harness connector, then go to step 8.
2. NO - Check for loose or poor connections at PCM connector terminal C14. If the connection is OK, update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM (see PCM UPDATING AND SUBSTITUTION FOR TESTING ), then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM.
Clear the DTC with the HDS.
Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in the D position through all five gears.
Monitor the OBD status for P0713 in the DTCs/Freeze Data in A/T Mode Menu for a pass/fail.
Does the result indicate a passed?
1. YES - Troubleshooting is completed.
2. NO - Return to step 1 and recheck.
