Toyota Camry (XV70): Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Circuit Short To Ground (P071011)
DESCRIPTION
The ATF temperature sensor converts the automatic transaxle fluid (ATF) temperature into a resistance value for use by the ECM.
The ECM applies voltage to the temperature sensor through terminal THO1 of the ECM.
The sensor resistance changes with the ATF temperature. As the temperature rises, the sensor resistance decreases.
One terminal of the sensor is grounded so that the sensor resistance and voltage decrease as the temperature rises.
The ECM calculates the ATF temperature based on the voltage signal.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates a short to ground in the ATF temperature sensor circuit. The ATF temperature sensor converts the ATF temperature into an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the ATF temperature, and can detect a short to ground in the ATF temperature sensor circuit. If the resistance value of the ATF temperature sensor is below 79 Ω*, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the ATF temperature sensor or in the wire harness, illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

Explanation of general maintenance
General maintenance includes those items which should be checked during the
normal day-to-day operation
of the vehicle. They are essential if the vehicle is to continue operating
properly. The owners can perform
checks and inspections themselves or have thei
