TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Inspection
1. Remove the control valve body.




2. Remove the transaxle fluid temperature sensor and solenoid valve(s).




3. Place the transaxle fluid temperature sensor in water with a thermometer as shown and heat the water gradually.
4. Measure resistance between the terminals of the transaxle fluid temperature sensor.




5. If not correct, replace the transaxle fluid temperature sensor.
6. Install the transaxle fluid temperature sensor and solenoid valve(s).

Tightening torque: 6.9-8.8 N-m (61-78 in-lb)

7. Install the control valve body.
8. Perform a line pressure test to verify proper transmission operation.
