DIAGNOSTICS – AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (A340E, A340F)

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1 Check ATF temperature sensor.

PREPARATION:
Remove the ATF temperature sensor.
CHECK:
Measure resistance between terminals of ATF temperature
sensor at 20 °C (68 °F) and 110 °C (230 °F).
20°C (68°F) and OK:
110°C (230°F) Resistance (Approx.):
20 °C (68 °F): 12.1 kΩ
Q07637 110 °C (230 °F): 790 Ω

NG Replace the ATF temperature sensor.

OK

2 Check harness and connector between ATF temperature sensor and ECM
(See page IN–28).

NG Repair or replace the harness or connector.

OK

Check and replace the ECM

(See page IN–28).
