2015 A8 Z06 trans trouble code: P0711
I decided just for the hell of it to check for any codes today.
The transmission was replaced a while ago, I don't even know if I checked for any trouble codes at the time when I got the car back from the dealer.
CODE: P0711
Transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor A circuit range/performance.
Probable cause: Wiring, TFT sensor.
Questions: where is the TFT sensor located and could this code of been there for some time.

I cleared the code yesterday and went for about a two hour normal drive. When I got home I checked and 'no code'. I was thinking the car had been sitting for 2/4 weeks at a time lately and perhaps a low battery voltage may have set the code. What do you think? If the code returns to replace the sensor the pan would need to be removed, sensor replaced, and a fluid drain & fill with trans filter I guess would be in order? Will go for another drive today, car is still not fully charged.

I got the same code on my 2015 2 times , cleared it last year and recently checked for codes in history a month ago and it was back . Everything is working fine on the trans so I just clear it and move on ......only one time did I get the p700 code along with 711 , which is a request to turn on the check engine light
I am not going to worry about it and just chalk it up to battery glitch ......
