PTF 000177.31 – Transmission Oil Temperature Sensor Fault

PTF 000177.31 (PTF 177.31)

Code: 000177.31

Shortcode: 177.31

Description:

This error code is triggered when the PTA or CCU control software detects an open circuit in the transmission oil temperature sensor. A replacement value is transmitted, generating this diagnostic trouble code in the PTF control software. This fault can also generate a diagnostic trouble code in the PTA or CCU control software, which takes priority.

Reaction:

When this code is detected, the control software may exhibit limited or no functionality.

Recommendations:

  • Inspect Temperature Sensor Circuit:
    • Check for an open circuit in the transmission oil temperature sensor wiring.
    • Repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors.
  • Test the Sensor:
    • Verify the functionality of the transmission oil temperature sensor using diagnostic tools.
    • Replace the sensor if it is found to be faulty.
  • Update Software:
    • Ensure that the PTA and CCU control software are up to date.
    • Update the software if necessary.
  • Check CAN Bus Communication:
    • Use diagnostic tools to confirm that the replacement value is correctly transmitted over the CAN bus.

Note:

Regular maintenance and timely inspection of the transmission oil temperature sensor and its circuit can prevent issues that trigger this fault code.
