P275ETransmission Fluid Temperature Sensor D Circuit Intermittent
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- P275E marks an intermittent sensor D circuit: the value drops out or spikes for moments and then returns, too briefly for P275C or P275D. Public manufacturer documentation for this code is lacking; the closest published counterpart is the main sensor's P0714, which Ford's 2012 strategy names among its fluid temperature checks. Such faults typically follow mechanical or thermal stress, appearing on rough roads, after a long run or once the gearbox is hot. Depending on what the module uses D for, drivers may notice little beyond the warning lamp. Useful steps are logging D during a test drive and flexing the harness while watching the reading, then repairing the terminal rather than swapping the sensor blindly.
