Monitor Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Lexus ES 250, 2023 Lexus ES 250, 2022 Lexus ES 250, and 2021 Lexus ES 250. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This DTC indicates an open or short to +B in the ATF temperature sensor circuit. The ATF temperature sensor converts the ATF temperature into an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the ATF temperature, and can detect an open or short in the ATF temperature sensor circuit. If the resistance value of the ATF temperature sensor is higher than 156 kΩ*, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the ATF temperature sensor or in the wire harness, illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.
*: -40°C (-40°F) is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
HINT:
The ATF temperature can be checked in the Data List.
