Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor G93, Checking
Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor G93, Checking
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Multimeter
• Wiring diagram
Requirements
• The Transmission Control Module (TCM) (J217) fuse OK.
• The battery voltage must be at least 12.5 Volts.
• All electrical consumers must be switched off.
• The parking brake must be engaged.
• The elector lever must be in the "P" position.
• The Ground (GND) connections to transmission must be OK.
• Ignition switched off.
Test procedure
- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check.
Start diagnosis
- Disconnect the Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor (G93) electrical harness connector - 1 -.
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- Repair any damage found to the electrical harness connector.
If the electrical harness connector is OK:
Checking resistance
- Using a multimeter, check the Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor (G93) terminals 1 to 2 for resistance.
If any of the specified values are not obtained:
- Replace the Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor (G93).
If the specified values are obtained:
Checking wiring
If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.
- Install the Adapter F/VAG1598 (VAG1598/22).
If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.
- Remove the Transmission Control Module (TCM) (J217). => [ Transmission Control Module J217, Replacing ] Service and Repair.
- Using a multimeter, check the Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor (G93) electrical harness connector terminals to the Transmission Control Module (TCM) (J217) electrical harness connector T52 terminals for an open circuit.
Specified value: 1.5 ohms Max.
If the specified value was not obtained:
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If no malfunction is found in the wiring and the resistance was not OK:
- Replace the Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor (G93).
- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.
- Perform a road test to verify repair.
If the DTC does not return:
Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.
- End diagnosis.
If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was not OK:
- Replace the Transmission Control Module (TCM) (J217). Refer to => [ Transmission Control Module J217, Replacing ] Service and Repair.
- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.
Final Procedures
After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory.
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.
End of diagnosis.
