Component Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. CHECK "TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR"
    1. Ignition "OFF".
    2. Disconnect the "ATF 1 [C106-1] and ATF 2 [C106-2]" connector.
    3. Measure the resistance between terminal "9" of the "ATF 1 [C106-1]" harness connector and chassis ground.

      Specification : Refer to RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION .

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Application PIN No TEMPERATURE (°F) RESISTANCE (KΩ) VOLTAGE (V)
      ATF 1 C106-1 : 9 - GND 32 Approx. 15 Approx. 3.3
      68 Approx. 6.5 Approx. 2.7
      176 Approx. 0.9 Approx. 0.9
      ATF 2 C106-2 : 1 - GND 32 Approx. 10.5 Approx. 3.3
      68 Approx. 4.3 Approx. 2.5
      176 Approx. 0.5 Approx. 0.7

    4. Is resistance within specifications?

      YES 

      NO 

  2. CHECK TCM
    1. Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF".
    2. Disconnect the "ATF 1 [C106-1]" connector.
    3. Install scan tool and access "SIMU-SCAN" mode.
    4. Simulate voltage (0→5V) to "TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR 1, 2" signal circuit.

    5. Is FLUID TEMP. SENSOR signal value changed according to simulation voltage?

      YES 

      • Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

      NO 

      • Substitute with a known-good TCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace TCM as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
