    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).
  2. Remove the oil filler tube assembly (Refer to REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION  ), 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.
  3. Measure the resistance between the sensor-side connector terminal number 12 of the CVT assembly connector and ground (terminal number 18).
