Off-Vehicle Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
WARNING:
- When the transaxle and ATF are hot, they can badly burn. Turn off the engine and wait until they are cool before replacing ATF.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Remove the coupler component. (See PRIMARY CONTROL VALVE BODY REMOVAL ).
- Place the TFT sensor and a thermometer in ATF as shown, and heat the ATF gradually.
- Measure resistance between the terminals of the TFT sensor.
- If not as specified, replace the TFT sensor. (See TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
