Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Service and Repair
ATF Temperature Sensor Test/Replacement
1. Lift the vehicle up on a hoist, or apply the parking brake, block the rear wheels, and raise the front of the vehicle. Make sure it is securely
supported.
2. Remove the splash shield.
3. Disconnect the shift solenoid harness connector.
4. Measure the ATF temperature sensor resistance between shift solenoid harness connector terminals No. 6 and No. 7.
Standard: 50 Ohms - 25 k Ohms
5. If the resistance is out of standard, replace the ATF temperature sensor and solenoid harness; go to step 6. The ATF temperature sensor is not
available separately from the solenoid harness. If the measurement is within the standard, connect the connector securely, and install the splash
shield.
6. Remove the drain plug (A), and drain the automatic transmission fluid (ATF).
7. Reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer (B).
