Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the transmission fluid temperature sensor.
  2. Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of the transmission fluid temperature sensor connector.

    Standard value: 

    TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS

    TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE
    0°C (32°F) 16.7 - 20.5 kΩ
    20°C (68°F) 7.3 - 8.9 kΩ
    40°C (104°F) 3.4 - 4.2 kΩ
    60°C (140°F) 1.9 - 2.2 kΩ
    80°C (176°F) 1.0 - 1.2 kΩ
    100°C (212°F) 0.57 - 0.69 kΩ
  3. If the transmission fluid temperature sensor resistance is outside the specified range and the "N" range indicator light is flashing, replace the transmission fluid temperature sensor.
    NOTE: The "N" range indicator light on the combination meter flashes when the temperature reaches approximately 125°C (257°F) or greater, and then stops flashing when the temperature drops below approximately 115°C (238°F).
