AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (M13 ENGINE) 7B1-111
Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor
Inspection
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Lift up vehicle.
3) With engine is cool, remove drain plug and drain A/T fluid.
4) Install drain plug. (Refer to “Fluid Change” in this section.)
5) Remove A/T oil pan.
6) Remove oil strainer assembly.
7) Remove valve body assembly referring to “Unit Disassembly”
in this section.
8) Remove solenoid wire harness (1).
9) Warm up transmission fluid temperature sensor (2). Check
resistance between terminals of valve body harness connec-
tor (1). Thus make sure its resistance decrease as its tem-
perature increase.
Transmission fluid temperature sensor resistance
CAUTION:
When pulling solenoid wire harness out of transaxle
case, take care not to damage transmission fluid temper-
ature sensor at narrow exit of case.
Careless sensor treatment might cause sensor malfunc-
tion.
