Component Inspection (CVT Fluid Temperature Sensor)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CHECK CVT FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Check resistance between CVT unit connector terminals.

TERMINAL RESISTANCE REFERENCE

CVT unit connector			Condition	Resistance (Approx.)
Connector	terminal		Condition	Resistance (Approx.)
F46	17	19	When CVT fluid temperature is 20°C (68°F)	6.5 kΩ
F46	17	19	When CVT fluid temperature is 80°C (176°F)	0.9 kΩ

Is the inspection result normal?

YES: INSPECTION END

NO: Replace transaxle assembly. Refer to "EXPLODED VIEW ".
