DTC P0712 TROUBLESHOOTING CHART

Step Action YES NO
Was "CVT System Check" performed?  Go to Step 2. Go to CVT SYSTEM CHECK .
CVT fluid temperature sensor signal circuit check 
  1. Turn off ignition switch and disconnect TCM and solenoid connectors.
  2. Check for proper terminal connection to TCM and solenoid connectors.
  3. If connections are OK, check that CVT fluid temperature sensor signal circuit (A1) is as follows.
    • Insulation resistance of CVT fluid temperature sensor signal circuit is infinity between solenoid connector and vehicle body ground.
    • Insulation resistance of wire harness is infinity between CVT fluid temperature sensor signal circuit terminal and terminal at solenoid connector.

Are they in good condition? 
Go to Step 3. Repair or replace defective wire harness.
CVT fluid temperature sensor check 
  1. Check CVT fluid temperature sensor. See CVT Fluid Temperature Sensor On-Vehicle Inspection 

Are they in good condition? 
Substitute a known-good TCM and recheck. Replace CVT fluid temperature sensor (valve body assembly).
