TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR CHECK
1. Remove the engine room under cover. Refer to Removal and Installation.
2. Disconnect the transaxle fluid temperature sensor connector.
3. Remove the filler plug and gasket.
4. Insert a thermometer into the filler plug hole of the transaxle.
noteInsert a thermometer which is made of metal or is put in a metal case [overall length: approximately 150 – 200 mm (5.9 – 7.9 inches)] into the transaxle case hole approximately 80 mm (3.1 inches).
5. Measure the resistance between the sensor-side connector terminal No. 1 and terminal No. 2.
Standard value:
Fluid temperature °C (°F)Resistance kΩ
–20 (–4)13.92 – 16.34
20 (68)2.513 – 2.777
100 (212)0.210 – 0.221
200 (392)0.0263 – 0.0303
6. If the resistance deviates from the standard value greatly, replace the sensor.
7. When installing a new sensor and gasket, apply ATF to the threaded portion of the transaxle fluid temperature sensor.
8. Tighten the transaxle fluid temperature sensor to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 14 ± 1 N·m (124 ± 8 in-lb)
9. Install the filler plug and new gasket, and tighten to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 32 ± 2 N·m (24 ± 1 ft-lb)
10. Install the engine room under cover. Refer to Removal and Installation.
