Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

     
YES (0.05?0.09 V)
     
     
     
Go to step 3.
     
YES (4.83?4.92 V)
     
     
     
Go to step 5.
     
NO
     
     
     
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections and loose terminals between the transmission fluid temperature sensor and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/onboard snapshot.?
3.
Transmission fluid temperature sensor check:

Transmission fluid temperature sensor check
?1.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.
Disconnect the following connector.
Solenoid wire harness A 8P connector

?3.
Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

Shorted wire check (TATF line):

Shorted wire check (TATF line)
?1.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.
Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.
NOTE: This step must be done to protect the PCM from damage.


?3.
Disconnect the following connector.
PCM connector C (51P)

?4.
Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
 
Solenoid wire harness A 8P connector: disconnected
 
PCM connector C (51P): disconnected
Test point 1
PCM connector C (51P) No. 37
Test point 2
Body ground

Is there continuity?

     
YES
     
     
     
Repair a short to ground in the TATF wire between solenoid wire harness A and the PCM.?
     
NO
     
     
     
The TATF wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If this DTC goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM.?
5.
Determine possible failure area (TATF line, others):

Determine possible failure area (TATF line, others)
