DTC P0713: CVTF Temperature Sensor (Open): General Description
The CVTF temperature sensor is a thermistor type sensor that changes resistance according to the change in CVTF temperature. The powertrain control module (PCM) sends a 5 V reference voltage to the sensor through a pull-up resistor. When the CVTF temperature is low, the sensor resistance increases and the PCM detects a high signal voltage. As the CVTF temperature rises, the sensor resistance decreases and the PCM detects a low signal voltage. When the CVTF temperature sensor signal voltage to the PCM is above the specification, indicating that the temperature is under the specification (open), the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
