ATF Temperature Sensor No.2 Circuit

Wiring Diagram:

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
ATF temperature sensor No.2 is on the transmission and just before the oil cooler inlet pipeline. If ECM detects the abnormally high temperature of ATF by this sensor, it draws driver's attention by turning the warning lamp up (4WD model only).

HINT: The temperature of ATF easily raises when toeing, climbing hills and in stack, etc.
If the ATF temperature sensor No.2 shorts, the signal that indicates the ATF temperature is 150 °C (302 °F) or higher is input in ECM.


Vehicle conditions when sensor is in normal and when the vehicle is in short are indicated in the table.

Step 1 - 2:

Step 3:

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT: Start the inspection from step 1 in case of 4WD and start from step 2 in case of 2WD.
