Code 58, Transmission Fluid Temperature High - All Models: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Transmission fluid temperature sensor is a thermistor which controls signal voltage to control module. Control module applies and monitors voltage to sensor. When transmission fluid is cold, sensor resistance is high; therefore, control module will see high signal voltage. As transmission fluid warms, sensor resistance and voltage will drop. At normal transmission operating temperature of 212°F (100°C), voltage will be about 1.5-2.0 volts.

NOTE: Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.

Code 58 will set if signal voltage indicates a transmission fluid temperature greater than 305°F (151°C) for one second.
This test determines if circuit is shorted to ground, which will result in conditions for Code 58.
