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 (6.0 - 7.8 inches)] into the transaxle case hole approximately 80 mm (3.1 inches).
- 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 number 12 of the CVT assembly connector and ground (terminal number18).
Standard value:
Fluid temperature °C (°F) Resistance kΩ At 20 (68) Approximately 6.5 At 50 (122) Approximately 2.2 At 80 (176) Approximately 0.9 CAUTION: The transmission fluid temperature sensor cannot be removed or replaced as a single unit. - When the resistance of the transmission fluid temperature sensor is outside the standard value, replace the valve body assembly (Refer to OIL PAN AND VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY ).
