Automatic Transaxle/Transmission - TorqShift(R)

Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor









Removal

1. Remove the transmission fluid pan, gasket and filter. For additional information, refer to Fluid Pan, Gasket and Filter Automatic Transaxle/Transmission - TorqShift(R).

2. Disconnect the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor.





3. Press the tab, rotate the TFT (Transmission Fluid Temperature) sensor counterclockwise and pull out.





4. Inspect the O-ring seal. If the O-ring seal is damaged, install a new TFT (Transmission Fluid Temperature) sensor.

Installation

1. Lubricate the O-ring seal with transmission fluid and install a new TFT (Transmission Fluid Temperature) sensor. Make sure to slightly rotate the sensor clockwise to lock it in place.





2. Connect the TFT (Transmission Fluid Temperature) sensor.





3. Install the transmission fluid filter, pan gasket and pan. For additional information, refer to Fluid Pan, Gasket and Filter Automatic Transaxle/Transmission - TorqShift(R).

4. NOTICE: The use of any other transmission fluid than specified can result in the transmission failing to operate in a normal manner or transmission failure.

Fill the transmission.
- Add 7.0L (7.5 qt) of transmission fluid to the transmission through the transmission fluid filler tube.

5. Start the engine. Move the selector lever through all the gear ranges, checking for engagements.

6. Using the scan tool with the engine running, check and make sure the transmission is at normal operating temperature 66-77°C (150-170°F). Check and adjust the transmission fluid level and check for any leaks. If transmission fluid is needed, add transmission fluid in increments of 0.24L (0.5 pt) until the correct level is achieved.
