TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR INSPECTION [AW6A-EL]

CAUTION:
- Water or foreign objects entering the connector can cause a poor connection or corrosion. Be sure not to drop water or foreign objects on the connector when disconnecting it.
- Do not damage the terminals.

On-Vehicle Inspection

4. Verify that there is no continuity between coupler component terminals B7 and GND, or B8 and GND.











- If there is continuity, perform an off-vehicle inspection of TFT sensor.

Off-Vehicle Inspection

WARNING:
- A hot ATF and beaker can cause severe burns. Do not touch them.

1. Place the TFT sensor and a thermometer in ATF as shown in the figure, and heat the ATF gradually.






2. Measure the resistance between the coupler component terminals B7and B8.






- If there is any malfunction, replace the coupler component. Transaxle Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor Removal/Installation [AW6A-EL]
