Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Repair Procedures

Inspection

1. 1
   Turn the ignition off.
2. 2
   Remove the battery and battery tray. (Refer to Engine Electrical System - "Battery")
3. 3
   Disconnect the solenoid valve connector (A).

   

4. 4
   Measure the resistance between terminal + (9) and terminal - (13).

   

5. 5
   Make sure the resistance is within specification.

   Item	Specification
   Temp. [(°C)°F] / Resistance (kΩ)	(-40)-40/48,1
   	(-20)-4,0/15,6
   	(0)32,0 / 5,88
   	(20)68,0/2,51
   	(40)104,0/1,19
   	(60)140,0/0,61
   	(80)176,0/0,32
   	(100)212,0/0,18
   	(120)248,0/0,10
   	(140)284,0/0,06
   	(150)302,0/0,05

Removal

The transmission fluid temperature sensor is integrated with the solenoid valve main connector and cannot be disassembled. Replace the transmission fluid temperature sensor together with the solenoid valve main connector.

1. 1
   Move the shift lever to the "N" position.
2. 2
   Remove the valve body assembly. (Refer to Hydraulic System - "Valve Body")
3. 3
   Disconnect the input and output speed sensor connector (A).
4. 4
   Loosen the solenoid valve wiring harness bolts (B).

   Tightening torque: 9.8 ~ 11.8 N·m

   

5. 5
   Disconnect the solenoid valve connector (A).

   

6. 6
   Remove the clip (A), then disconnect the connector by pressing it downward.

   Tightening torque: 9.8 ~ 11.8 N·m

   

Installation

1. Install in the reverse order of removal.

Fill the automatic transmission with fluid. (Refer to Hydraulic System — "Fluid"). Check for fluid leaks at the connections after repair.
