P0712 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Short Circuit

P0712 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Short Circuit

Possible causes
– Faulty Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor
– Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor harness is open or shorted
– Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor circuit poor electrical connection
What about the obd code?
Transmission Control Module (TCM) detects excessively low voltage from the fluid temperature sensor.
Symptoms
– Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
– Possible shifting problems
P0712 Description

The Automatic Transmission (A/T) fluid temperature sensor detects the A/T fluid temperature and sends a signal to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
