DESCRIPTION
The ATF temperature sensor converts the automatic transaxle fluid (ATF) temperature into a resistance value for use by the ECM.
The ECM applies a voltage to the temperature sensor through terminal THO1 of the ECM.
The sensor resistance changes with the ATF temperature. As the temperature rises, the sensor resistance decreases.
One terminal of the sensor is grounded so that the sensor resistance and voltage decrease as the temperature rises.
The ECM calculates the ATF temperature based on the voltage signal.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that there is a problem with the output signals from the ATF temperature sensor and that the sensor itself is defective. The ATF temperature sensor converts the ATF temperature into an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the ATF temperature and detects an open or short in the ATF temperature circuit or a malfunction of the ATF temperature sensor.
After driving the vehicle for a certain period of time, the ATF temperature should increase. If the ATF temperature is below 20°C (68°F) after driving the vehicle for a certain period, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction, illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.
If the ATF temperature is 100°C (212°F) or higher and the engine coolant temperature takes 10 seconds or more to reach 60°C (140°F) after a cold start, the ECM also interprets this as a malfunction, illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

DATA LIST
NOTICE:
In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.
HINT:
Using the Techstream to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.
(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the engine switch off.
(c) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(e) Turn the Techstream on.
(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Data List / A/T Oil Temperature No.1.
(g) Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream.
Powertrain > Transmission > Data List Tester Display | Measurement Item | Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
---|---|---|---|---|
A/T Oil Temperature No.1 | ATF temperature sensor value | Min.: -40°C (-40°F) Max.: 150°C (302°F) |
