P077E

Transmission Fluid Temperature Measurement System - Multiple Sensor Correlation

High severity

What it means

Modern transmissions can have two or more ATF temperature sensors (sump, cooler return, valve body). After a long key-off soak they should all read approximately the same ambient. The TCM detects an implausible spread between sensors — one of them drifts or is wired wrong.

Is it safe to drive?

No — stop driving

This code points to a problem that can cause damage or affect safety. Avoid driving and have the vehicle diagnosed promptly.

Most likely causes

  • One sensor drifting outside tolerance

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Sensors swapped after service

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.
