Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor Inspection
TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR INSPECTIONCaution:
^ Water or foreign material entering the connector can cause poor connections or corrosion. Be sure that water or foreign material do not enter the connector when disconnecting it.
On-Vehicle Inspection
1. Remove the engine cover.
2. Remove the battery cover.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
4. Remove the catalytic converter.
5. Remove the insulator.
6. Disconnect the solenoid valve connector.
7. Measure resistance between the terminals C and D.
^ If there is any malfunction, perform the off vehicle inspection for TFT sensor.
8. Connect the solenoid valve connector.
9. Install the insulator.
Tightening torque 8 - 11 Nm (82 - 112 kgf-cm, 72 - 97 inch lbs.)
10. Install the catalytic converter.
11. Connect the negative battery cable.
12. Install the battery cover.
13. Install the engine cover.
Off-Vehicle Inspection
Warning:
^ A hot the transmission and ATF can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until they are cool before replacing ATF.
1. Remove the TFT sensor.
2. Place the TFT sensor and a thermometer in ATF and heat the ATF Gradually.
3. Measure the resistance between the TFT sensor terminals.
^ If there is any malfunction, replace the TFT sensor.
4. Install the TFT sensor.
