Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Circuit High Input

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 signal is higher than possible, which can mean the transmission fluid is genuinely overheating or the sensor is faulty.

2Common causes

Transmission fluid overheating (low fluid, blocked cooler, heavy load or towing)
Faulty transmission fluid temperature sensor
Damaged wiring or connector (open circuit)
Internal transmission fault
Transmission control module fault

3Can I drive?

Serious · drive with care

If the transmission temperature warning is on or the transmission slips, stop in a safe place and let it cool. Do not keep driving hard: continued overheating can destroy the transmission. Have the fluid level and cooling checked.
