Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Inspection

Reference: TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION 

1. Remove transmission temperature sensor referring to TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
2. Immerse temperature sensing part of sensor (1) in A/T fluid and check resistance between sensor terminals while heating A/T fluid gradually. If check result is not as specified, replace sensor.

   After inspection, install transmission fluid temp. sensor and connect connector.

   Transmission fluid temperature sensor resistance (Temperature: Resistance) 

   0 °C (32 °F): 1844 - 2290 Ω 

   160 °C (320 °F): 19.2 - 22.2 Ω
