Atf Temperature Sensor No.2 Circuit
Atf Temperature Sensor No.2 Circuit
Atf Temperature Sensor No.2 Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
ATF temperature sensor No.2 is on the transmission and just before the oil cooler inlet pipeline.
If ECM detects the abnormally high temperature of ATF by this sensor, it draws driver’s attention by turning
the warning lamp up (4WD model only).
HINT:
The temperature of ATF easily raises when toeing, climbing hills and in stack, etc.
If the ATF temperature sensor No.2 shorts, the signal that indicates the ATF temperature is 150C
(302F) or higher is input in ECM.
1. Vehicle conditions when sensor is in normal and when the vehicle is in short are indicated in
the table below.

95C (203F).
HINT:
*1: When AT fluid temperature is normal, transmission locks up at 5th gear with the shift lever in D position
and at 4th gear with the shift lever in 4 position.
*2: When AT fluid temperature is in normal range, it decreases to less than 135C (275F) within 5 minutes
with the shift lever in P or N position in a idling state.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Start the inspection from step 1 in case of 4WD and start from step 2 in case of 2WD.
1 CHECK A/T OIL WARNING LIGHT
(a) When parking the vehicle with the shift lever in P or N position, check that the AT oil warning light goes
off within 5 minutes.
OK:
AT oil warning light goes off
OK END
