2017-10-10

Description:

  • The fault code P0711 indicates that there is an issue with the transmission fluid temperature sensor circuit. This may result in abnormal transmission behavior and drivability issues.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Illuminated check engine light

  • Abnormal shifting behavior

  • Delayed or harsh shifting

  • Reduced fuel economy

Possible Causes:

  • Faulty transmission fluid temperature sensor

  • Open or short circuit in the sensor wiring

  • Failed transmission control module (TCM)

  • Low transmission fluid level

Related Parts:

  • Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor: Gear fluid line delivers gear fluid/oil between the various gear parts that need lubrication. The Gear fluid temperature sensor monitors the fluid temperature in the line. Problems lead to difficulty in shifting gears

Possible Solutions:

  • Replace the transmission fluid temperature sensor

  • Check and repair any damaged wiring or connections

  • Add or change transmission fluid to the correct level

  • Replace the transmission control module (TCM) if necessary
