Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance

39 brands affected · Generic SAE J2012 description.

Key terms: Control module: a small computer that runs one part of the car · SAE J2012: the standard generic code list · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions

Safety: This code relates to transmission fluid temperature. Overheating can quickly damage the transmission.

1What it means in plain English

The transmission fluid temperature sensor reading does not match what the transmission computer expects, so its temperature information cannot be trusted.

2Common causes

Faulty transmission fluid temperature sensor
Damaged wiring or connector
Low or dirty transmission fluid
Internal transmission fault
Transmission control module fault

3Can I drive?

Caution · drive with care

Watch for a transmission temperature warning or rough shifting. Stop safely and let the transmission cool if the warning is on, the transmission slips, or the car is working hard (for example towing). Continued overheating can destroy the transmission.

This page gives general information. It is not professional advice. For a definite diagnosis and a repair quote, ask a qualified mechanic to inspect the car.
