Toyota Camry P0713 Fault: Gear Shifting Issue Between 1st and 2nd Gear

Model: Toyota Camry Fault Code: P0713 Posted: 2019-11-14 10:39

I'm experiencing a P0713 diagnostic code on my 2009 Toyota Camry. The car exhibits an unusual behavior when shifting gears—during normal driving, it appears to 'jump' or rise slightly as it transitions from 1st to 2nd gear. This issue is only noticeable at lower speeds and does not occur at top speed. I've already had the transmission fluid and filter changed, but the problem persists with a noticeable forced movement when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. The symptoms suggest a potential transmission fluid temperature sensor or circuit fault. Could this be related to the P0713 code? Any insights or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.

The P0713 code typically indicates a high input from the transmission fluid temperature sensor 'A'. Possible causes include: faulty transmission fluid temperature sensor, wiring issues, transmission internal problems, or a malfunctioning Powertrain Control Module (PCM). For accurate diagnosis, check the resistance of the sensor using an OBD2 scanner and multimeter. Reference: P0713 Toyota Camry - Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor 'A' High Input.

Where is the transmission fluid temperature sensor located on a 2009 Toyota Camry? I've searched but haven't been able to locate it in the engine or transmission area.

Could you please share a diagram or photo showing where the transmission fluid temperature sensor is located inside the transmission for a 2009 Toyota Camry? Visual guidance would be very helpful, especially since this issue is directly linked to the P0713 code.

A subscription to ALLDATA.com can provide detailed instructions on how to test the transmission fluid temperature sensor resistance. The sensor is generally located internally within the transmission, so access may require removing a cover or panel during inspection.

I own a 1993 Toyota Camry with a V6 engine that only moves in reverse gear—no forward gear engagement. What could be causing this? Is it related to transmission fluid, sensor failure, or another mechanical issue?
