Monitor Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

These DTCs indicate an open or short in the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature sensor circuit. The ATF temperature sensor converts 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 circuit. If the resistance value of the ATF temperature sensor is less than 79 Ω*1 or more than 156 kΩ*2, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the ATF sensor or wiring. The ECM will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.

*1: 150°C (302°F) or more is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.

*2: -40°C (-40°F) is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.

HINT: 

The ATF temperature can be checked on the Techstream display.
