What is P0714 fault code? What is Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor a Circuit Intermittent error code? How can I fix the P0714 fault? What are the causes and symptoms of the P0714 error code?
What is the P0714 fault code? What does it signify?
A lot of vehicles have a sensor to measure the transmission oil temperature (TFT). This sensor is one the engine sensors that the powertrain controller module (PCM), uses to calculate certain parameters. A P0714 code is a sign of something. “Transmission fluid temperature sensor A circuit Intermittent / Intermittent .
The TFT sensor determines shift points, transmission pressure, and torque converter clutch. This sensor is located behind your oil pan in the transmission body.
The TFT sensor has a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) and is therefore an infrared thermistor. This means that its internal resistance is proportional with the oil’s temperature. The resistance of the TFT sensors decreases as the transmission oil temperature increases. Conversely, when the temperature drops, the resistance will increase. If the PCM detects a voltage signal from the sensor that is intermittent or detects a transmission fluid temperature that is not within the manufacturer’s specifications, the code P0714 will also be set.
The P0714 fault code can affect vehicles of all makes and models, including but not limited to: Jeep, Dodge, Saturn, Chrysler. Ford, Nissan. Toyota. Honda. Infiniti. Acura. Jaguar.
What is the P0714 Fault Code?
Here are some reasons why P0714 should be set.
- – Defective transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor
- – Broken wires, loose connectors or rusty connections, open or short circuit problems
- – Internal mechanical problems with transmissions
- – Use a dirty transmission oil
- – Transmission fluid missing or leaking
- – Blockage of transmission filter
What are the symptoms of P0714 Malfunction Code?
These symptoms may be present in vehicles with code P0714.
- – Illumination at the check engine lights
- – Malfunctioning torque converter clutch
- – Irregular, harsh or delayed gear changes
- – The gearbox is overheated
- – Burning odors and smoke from the transmission
- – You can disable transmission shifting by entering the vehicle safe mode, or Limp Mode. The vehicle speed can also be limited.
How do I fix the P0714 fault code?
These are some of the possible repairs that could resolve the P0714 fault codes:
- – Replacing the defective temperature sensor of transmission oil
- Repair damaged wiring, connectors, or open or short circuit issues to the transmission temperature sensor circuit
- – Clean the gearbox and change the oil
- – Transmission oil leak repair and completion, if necessary
- – Removing the old transmission filter
How serious is the P0714 fault code?
Fault code P0714 can be very serious. Overheating can cause internal damage to the seals. It is possible for your vehicle to not start or the PCM to enter failsafe mode. This will limit the vehicle’s speed and gears. It is important to take your vehicle in for repair as soon as you notice this problem.
