WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Lexus IS 500, 2023 Lexus IS 500, and 2022 Lexus IS 500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM
- Warm up the engine.
- Turn the engine switch off.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List / A/T Oil Temperature 1.
- Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream.
Powertrain > ECT > Data List
Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note A/T Oil Temperature 1 ATF temperature sensor value Min.: -40°C (-40°F)
Max.: 150°C (302°F)- After stall speed test:
Approximately 80°C (176°F)
- While engine is cold: Equal to ambient temperature
If value is -40°C (-40°F) or 150°C (302°F), ATF temperature sensor circuit is open or short circuited Powertrain > ECT > Data List
Tester Display A/T Oil Temperature 1 Result
Result Proceed to Data List value is normal A Data List value is not normal B - After stall speed test:
Result:
A
See step 3
Result:
B
See step 2
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR - TCM)
- Disconnect the F156 TCM connector.
*a Rear view of wire harness connector
(to TCM) - Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition F156-12 (THO1) - F156-13 (E2) Always 79 Ω to 156 kΩ F156-13 (E2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher F156-12 (THO1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher HINT:
If the resistance is out of the specified range with the ATF temperature shown in the table below, the driveability of the vehicle may decrease.
ATF Temperature Specified Condition 10°C (50°F) 5 to 8 kΩ 25°C (77°F) 2.5 to 4.5 kΩ 110°C (230°F) 0.22 to 0.28 kΩ Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
See step 4
Result:
OK
See step 3
- Disconnect the F156 TCM connector.
- REPLACE TCM
- Replace the TCM.
Refer to COMPONENTS [11/2021 - ]

PERFORM A/T CODE REGISTRATION. Refer to REGISTRATION [11/2021 - ]
- Replace the TCM.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE - TCM)
- Disconnect the F175 transmission wire connector.
- Disconnect the F156 TCM connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition F175-8 (OIL) - F156-12 (THO1) Always Below 1 Ω F175-9 (E2) - F156-13 (E2) Always Below 1 Ω F175-8 (OIL) or F156-12 (THO1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher F175-9 (E2) or F156-13 (E2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
REPLACE TRANSMISSION WIRE (ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR). Refer to COMPONENTS [11/2021 - ]
Result:
NG
