ATF Temperature Sensor Test/Replacement

  1. Raise the vehicle on a lift, or apply the parking brake, block both rear wheels, and raise the front of the vehicle. Make sure it is securely supported.
  2. Remove the front splash shield.
  3. Disconnect the shift solenoid wire harness connector.

  4. Measure the ATF temperature sensor resistance between shift solenoid wire harness connector terminals No. 6 and No. 7.

    Standard: 50 0-25 kΩ 

    • If the resistance is within the standard, the test is complete, reconnect the connector, then install the front splash shield.
    • If the resistance is out of the standard, go to step 5.
  5. Remove the drain plug (A), and drain the ATF.

  11. Connect the shift solenoid valve connectors:
    • BLU wire connector to shift solenoid valve A.
    • ORN wire connector to shift solenoid valve B.
    • GRN wire connector to shift solenoid valve C.
    • YEL, WHT, and WHT wire connector to shift solenoid valve D.
    • RED wire connector to shift solenoid valve E.
  12. Install a new gasket, the dowel pins, and the shift solenoid valve cover.
  13. Check the connector for rust, dirt, or oil, and clean or repair if necessary, then connect the connector securely.
  14. Refill the transmission with ATF (see step  4 .
  15. Install the front splash shield (see FRONT SPLASH SHIELD REPLACEMENT ).
  16. Install the left front wheel.
