CVT Fluid Temperature Sensor On-Vehicle Inspection

NOTE: Do not remove CVT fluid temperature sensor from CVT assembly. If faulty condition is found, replace CVT assembly.
  1. Disconnect negative (-) cable at battery.
  2. Disconnect connector (1) from solenoid harness.
  3. Check for proper terminal connection to solenoid harness connector.
  4. Check resistance of CVT fluid temperature sensor and its circuit between terminals "20" and "22" at connector of solenoid harness. If faulty condition is found, replace CVT assembly.

    CVT fluid temperature sensor resistance: 

    20 °C (68 °F): Approx. 6.5 kΩ 

    80 °C (176 °F): Approx. 0.9 kΩ
