Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Infiniti QX4, 2001 Nissan Pathfinder, and 2001 Infiniti QX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
For circuit identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION and/or WIRING DIAGRAMS
.
Remove TFT sensor. See appropriate SERVICING article. Measure resistance between transmission terminal cord assembly 8-pin connector terminals No. 8 and 9 while changing temperature. See Fig 1. Resistance should be 2500 ohms at 68°F (20°C), and 300 ohms at 176°F (80°C). If resistance is not as specified, replace TFT sensor.
