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.
