Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Check
- While pressing A in the figure, turn B counterclockwise to unlock the CVT assembly connector, and disconnect the connector.
CAUTION: Insert a thermometer which is made of metal or is put in a metal case (overall length: approximately 150 - 200 mm) into the transaxle case hole approximately 80 mm.
- Remove the oil filler tube assembly (Refer to TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY ), and insert a thermometer into the transaxle case hole.NOTE: If a radiation thermometer (non-contact thermometer) is available, use it to measure the surface temperature of the oil pan.
- Measure the resistance between the sensor-side connector terminal No. 17 of the CVT assembly connector and ground (terminal No. 19).
Standard value:
FLUID TEMPERATURE TO RESISTANCE TABLEFluid temperature °C (°F) Resistance kΩ At 0 (32) Approximately 15.5 At 20 (68) Approximately 6.5 At 40 (104) Approximately 3.1 At 60 (140) Approximately 1.6 At 80 (176) Approximately 0.9 At 100 (212) Approximately 0.5 NOTE: In the information screen on the multi-information display, the fluid temperature warning comes on when the transmission fluid temperature is approximately 140°C (284°F) or higher, and automatically goes out when the transmission fluid temperature dropped below approximately 137°C (279°F).CAUTION: The transmission fluid temperature sensor cannot be removed or replaced as a single unit. When the transmission fluid temperature sensor needs to be replaced, replace the valve body assembly. - When the resistance of the transmission fluid temperature sensor is outside the standard value, and the fluid temperature warning comes on/goes out at other than the specified temperatures, replace the valve body assembly and the harness.
