Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Testing and Inspection





1. Disconnect the oil temperature sensor connector.
2. Measure the resistance between the oil temperature sensor side connector terminals 1 and 2, and check to be sure that the values are as shown in the table below.

Oil temperature °C (°F) Resistance value [k Ohms]
0 (32) 16.7 - 20.5
100 (212) 0.57 - 0.69

3. If the values are outside the standard values, replace the oil temperature sensor.
