Alright guys just need to some advice here,
I have a 2019 Suburban 5.3/6L80 combo
I’m getting the P0711 code which with my scanner said temp sensor out of range. Code showed before a drain and refill new filter.
Now the problem with this is my transmission doesn’t shift weird or slip. The red square around the (D) does disappear and if I go from (D) to (R) and back to (D) it acts like it won’t move unless I put it back into (L1) then back to (D) and the it drives perfect. And also if I shit the truck off for 5 minutes and back on the issue goes away for a bit. The temperatures on the dash does vary from 142 degrees all the way to 211 then it triggers the P0711.
I know that for sure is a temp sensor because my cooler and fluid is clean and flows properly (checked flow during the drain/refill)
Now I’ve had nothing but trouble with research because for this code it just shows the 8L90 trans with this issue and it’s usually the easy to replace wire harness. But the 6L80 everything is in the TECHM unit. And the temp sensor is sealed in the TCM.
I’m very tech savvy and mechanically inclined so would swapping out TCM only fix this issue or should I go ahead and swap out the TECHM also with a new TCM? I know the temp and speed sensors in these 6L80’s can cause the transmission to do some wonky stuff when it throws the code.
