Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Check

  1. Disconnect the A/T control solenoid valve assembly connector.
  2. Measure the resistance between the sensor-side connector terminal No. 2 and 3 of the A/T control solenoid valve assembly connector.

    Standard value:

    Fluid temperature °C (°F) Resistance kΩ
    10 (50) Approx. 6.62
    25 (77) Approx. 3.51
    80 (176) Approx. 0.55
    110 (230) Approx. 0.25
    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 assembly.
  3. When the resistance of the transmission fluid temperature sensor is outside the standard value, replace the valve body assembly and the harness.
