TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR INSPECTION

B3E051719010W01

On-Vehicle Inspection

1. Remove the battery cover. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [ZJ, Z6].) (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF].)

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

3. Remove the under cover.

Caution
• Water or foreign material entering the connector can cause a poor connection or corrosion. Be sure not to drop water or foreign material on the connector when disconnecting it.

4. Disconnect the transaxle connector.

5. Measure the resistance between the transaxle connector terminals E and H.

• If there is any malfunction, perform the off-vehicle inspection of TFT sensor. (See TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

6. Install the under cover.

7. Connect the negative battery cable.

8. Install the battery cover. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [ZJ, Z6].) (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF].)

Off-Vehicle Inspection

Warning
• A hot transaxle and ATF can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until they are cool before replacing the ATF.

1. Remove the control valve body. (See CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL.)

2. Remove the coupler component.

3. Place the TFT sensor and a thermometer in ATF as shown in the figure, and heat the ATF gradually.

4. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the TFT sensor.

• If there is any malfunction, replace the TFT sensor. (See TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
