WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

INSPECTION START
Do you have CONSULT-II?

Yes or No
1. Yes: GO TO 2.
2. No: GO TO 3.
CHECK INPUT SIGNAL OF A/T FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR (WITH CONSULT-II)
1. Start engine.
2. Select TCM INPUT SIGNALS in DATA MONITOR mode for A/T with CONSULT-II.
3. Read out the value of FLUID TEMP SE.

  Voltage
  
  Cold [20°C (68°F)] -->: Approximately 1.5V -->
  
  Hot [80°C (176°F)] 0.5V
OK or NG
1. OK: GO TO 4.
2. NG: GO TO 5.
CHECK INPUT SIGNAL OF A/T FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR (WITHOUT CONSULT-II)
1. Start engine.
2. Check voltage between TCM terminal 47 and ground while warming up A/T.

  Voltage
  
  Cold [20°C (68°F)] -->: Approximately 1.5V -->
  
  Hot [80°C (176°F)] 0.5V
3. Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
4. Disconnect TCM harness connector.
5. Check continuity between terminal 42 and ground.

  Continuity should exist .
  
  If OK, check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
1. OK: GO TO 4.
2. NG: GO TO 5.
CHECK DTC
Perform DTC P0710 A/T FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT .

OK or NG
1. OK: INSPECTION END
2. NG:
  1. Perform TCM input/output signal inspection.
  2. If NG, recheck TCM pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector.
CHECK A/T FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR WITH TERMINAL CORD ASSEMBLY
1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
2. Disconnect terminal cord assembly connector in engine compartment.
3. Check resistance between terminals 6 and 7 when A/T is cold.

4. Reinstall any part removed.
OK or NG
1. OK (With CONSULT-II): GO TO 2.
2. OK (Without CONSULT-II): GO TO 3.
3. NG:
  1. Remove oil pan.
  2. Check the following items:
    - A/T fluid temperature sensor. Refer to COMPONENT INSPECTION .
    - Harness of terminal cord assembly for short or open
