Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Check
- While pressing A in the illustration, 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 (5.9 - 7.9 inch)] into the transaxle case hole approximately 80 mm (3.1 inch).
- Remove the oil filler tube assembly (Refer to Transaxle Assembly), and insert a thermometer into the transaxle case hole.NOTE: If a radiation thermometer (noncontact thermometer) is available, use it to measure the surface temperature of the oil pan.
- Measure the resistance between the sensor-side connector terminal No. 12 of the CVT assembly connector and the ground (terminal No. 18).
Standard value:
Fluid temperature °C (°F) Resistance kΩ 20 (68) 6.29 - 6.83 50 (122) 2.10 - 2.25 80 (176) 0.85 - 0.90 - Measure the resistance between the sensor-side connector terminal No. 12 of the CVT assembly connector and the transaxle case.
Normal condition: No continuity
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 harness. - When the resistance of the transmission fluid temperature sensor is outside the standard value, replace the valve body harness (Refer to OIL PAN AND VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY ).
