Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Check
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- While pressing A in the figure, turn B counterclockwise to unlock the CVT assembly connector, and disconnect the connector.
CAUTION: Insert a thermometer which is made of metal or is put in a metal case (overall length: approximately 150 - 200 mm [6.0 - 7.8 inch]) into the transaxle case hole approximately 80 mm (3.1 inch).
- Remove the oil filler tube assembly (Refer to TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY
), and insert a thermometer into the transaxle case hole.NOTE: If a radiation thermometer (noncontact thermometer) is available, use it to measure the surface temperature of the oil pan.
- Measure the resistance between the sensor-side connector terminal No.17 of the CVT assembly connector and ground (terminal No.19).RESISTANCE REFERENCE
Fluid temperature °C (°F) Resistance kΩ At 0 (32) Approximately 15.5 At 20 (68) Approximately 6.5 At 40 (104) Approximately 3.1 At 60 (140) Approximately 1.6 At 80 (176) Approximately 0.9 At 100 (212) Approximately 0.5 CAUTION: The transmission fluid temperature sensor cannot be removed or replaced as a single unit. When the transmission fluid temperature sensor needs to be replaced, replace the valve body assembly. - When the resistance of the transmission fluid temperature sensor is outside the standard value, replace the valve body assembly and the harness.
