P0710Powertrain
Transmission fluid temperature sensor — malfunction
Where to start
The transmission fluid temperature sensor circuit. While it lies, the unit shifts blind and usually drops into limp mode, holding a single gear. Start with the connector: it lives in oil and heat.
A code is not a diagnosis. It says which check failed, not which part to replace. Clearing it without repair only means the car will report it again in a few trips.

How the app helps
CarScan reads this code from your car through an OBD-II adapter, shows whether it is active now or only stored, names the module that reported it, and puts it into a plain-text report for your mechanic.
