CAUTION:
Insert a thermometer which is made of metal or is put in a metal case (overall length: approximately 150 - 200 mm [6.0 - 7.8 inch]) into the transaxle case hole approximately 80 mm (3.1 inch).
- Remove the oil filler tube assembly (Refer to TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY ), and insert a thermometer into the transaxle case hole.
NOTE:
If a radiation thermometer (noncontact thermometer) is available, use it to measure the surface temperature of the oil pan.
- Measure the resistance between the sensor-side connector terminal No. 17 of the CVT assembly connector and ground (terminal No. 19).
