Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Performance (P0711)
DESCRIPTION
The No. 1 ATF temperature sensor converts the fluid temperature into a resistance
value for use by the ECM.
The ECM applies a voltage to the temperature sensor through terminal THO1 of
the ECM.
The sensor resistance changes with the ATF temperature. As the temperature becomes

The No. 2 ATF temperature sensor is installed in the transmission valve body
assembly.
If the ECM detects an abnormally high ATF temperature near this sensor, it illuminates
the warning indicator.
HINT:
The temperature of ATF easily rises when towing, climbing hills, in
