P0712
Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor A Circuit Low Input
DTC P0712, sometimes indicated as P071200 is an OBD diagnostic trouble code indicating a generic fault with the vehicle powertrain (i.e. engine and gearbox). This code identifies an error with the causing transmission fluid temperature sensor a circuit low input.
This code is set when the PCM detects a low voltage input from the transmission fluid temperature sensor. This sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the transmission fluid.
Possible causes of this code include a defective sensor, a wiring issue, or a low transmission fluid level.
If this code is detected, it is recommended that the vehicle be inspected by a qualified technician to determine the cause.
- P0712: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor A Circuit Low Input

Kia technical service bulletin transaxle oil temperature sensor dtc P0711, P0712 & P0713 https://static.Oemdtc.Com/tsb/2012-043.Pdf my vehicle, when still cold experiences rough shifting. Vehicle will slam into gear, up through gears and down shift hard as well, until the car has warmed up. After that the shifting issue goes away. I have taken the vehicle into the shop multiple times, for the problem, and they had trouble duplicating the problem as the vehicle had warmed up transmission repair shop is currently replacing temp sensor as the vehicle is repeating the issue and also stored code related to the problem. This vehicle has had multiple recall related issues, including the engine seizing (which was replaced under recall) which damaged the turbo (also replaced as part of the engine recall). Also, the brake switch light has been replaced multiple times (only once for free) due to failure (related to a recall on that as well).

POWER TRAIN,
2009 DODGE CALIBER with 131757. miles
When accelerating my vehicle is slow to take off with max speeds of only 50 mph on the freeway and 30 mph city. I have pressed the gas all the way and car is still lagging. The cel stays on and the following diagnostic codes are read P0722 which is trans output speed sensor U1146 which is a communication error P0717 which is input speed sensor 1 circuit no signal P0700 which is transaxle control system malfunction and P0712 which is trans fluid temp sensor low input. I took it to a local shop and they suggested i take it to the dealer to perform a tcm software update and its still doing the same thing even after the codes were cleared. Now a code is read that has to do with a large evap leak. Am i being steered in the wrong direction so that the dealer can avoid honoring the factory recall of the powertrain control module/fuel pump relay nhsta campaign number: 08v528000. My specific vin did not show up as being recalled but i would like to know if my issue can be further investigated. Please help.
