CAUTION:
[overall length: approximately 150 - 200 mm (6.0 - 7.8 inches)] into the transaxle case hole approximately 80 mm (3.1 inches).
- 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 number 12 of the CVT assembly connector and ground (terminal number 18).
RESISTANCE VALUE SPECIFICATION
| Fluid temperature °C (°F) |
Resistance kΩ |
| At 20 (68) |
Approximately 6.5 |
| At 40 (104) |
Approximately 2.2 |
| At 80 (176) |
Approximately 0.9 |
CAUTION:
The transmission fluid temperature sensor cannot be removed or replaced as a single unit.
- When the resistance of the transmission fluid temperature sensor is outside the standard value, replace the valve body assembly (Refer to
OIL PAN AND VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY ).
