p0713 code ford

[tylerb05]

Code just came on . Temp gauge is high and od light is flashing . My edge threw this code... Shifting was fine until I drove to the store and it was shifting firm or rough.... What's going on? Thought this is a sensor issue?

Thanks for the help

That's a code from the trans temp sensor. Check your trans fluid first off, then check the sensor and wiring.

Will the sensor being bad make it shirt hard or rough??

[PGreenSVT]

It could according to the symptoms I saw.

Ok so how hard is it to get to the sensor

Drain and drop the pan, the sensor is on the passenger side, you'll see the plug coming off of it. You turn it to the right I believe and pull down, when it comes out, about a quart of tranny fluid will come out as well. Would also be a good time to change the screen, filter, and fluid as well.

when you put the new one in, you will get a code for high voltage at the sensor for a few days, this goes away and doesn't harm anything. Also, check the wiring for nicks and scrapes, if you see any replace the harness.
