1. While pressing A in the figure, turn B counterclockwise to unlock the CVT assembly connector, and disconnect the connector.
2. 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 in.)] into the transaxle case hole approximately 80 mm (3.1 in.). |
Remove the oil filler pipe assembly (Refer to Transaxle Assembly), 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 No. 12 of the CVT assembly connector and ground (terminal No.18).Standard value: | Fluid temperature °C (°F) | Resistance kΩ | At 20 (68) | Approximately 6.5 | At 40 (104) | Approximately 2.2 | At 80 (176) | Approximately 0.9 |
|
4. caution | The transmission fluid temperature sensor cannot be removed or replaced as a single unit. |
When the resistance of the transmission fluid temperature sensor is outside the standard value, and the fluid temperature warning comes on/goes out at other than the specified temperatures, replace the valve body assembly.
