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) into the transaxle case hole approximately 80 mm. |
Remove the oil filler tube 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.17 of the CVT assembly connector and ground (terminal No.19).Standard value: | Fluid temperature °C (°F) | Resistance kΩ | At 0 (32) | Approximately 15.5 | At 20 (68) | Approximately 6.5 | At 40 (104) | Approximately 3.1 | At 60 (140) | Approximately 1.6 | At 80 (176) | Approximately 0.9 | At 100 (212) | Approximately 0.5 |
|
note | In the information screen on the multi-information display, the fluid temperature warning comes on when the transmission fluid temperature is approximately 140°C (284°F) or higher, and automatically goes out when the transmission fluid temperature dropped below approximately 137°C (279°F). |
4. 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. |
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 and the harness.
