Code P0711 Cadillac Description

The Automatic Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is a resistor, or thermistor, which changes value based on temperature. The sensor has a negative temperature coefficient. This means that as the temperature increases, the resistance decreases, and as the temperature decreases, the resistance increases. The transmission fluid temperature sensor is located inside the Transmission Control Module assembly which has no serviceable parts. The transmission fluid temperature sensor provides transmission fluid temperature information to the Transmission Control Module. This fault is handled inside the Transmission Control Module and no external circuits are involved.
The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set if the TCM detects a 20–50°C (36–90°F) or greater difference between the transmission fluid temperature and the TCM substrate temperature, which depends on the average of the transmission fluid temperature, the TCM substrate temperature, and the TCM power up the temperature.
