DESCRIPTION The ATF temperature sensor converts the automatic transaxle fluid (ATF) temperature into a resistance value for use by the ECM.
The ECM applies a voltage to the temperature sensor through terminal THO1 of the ECM.
The sensor resistance changes with the ATF temperature. As the temperature rises, the sensor resistance decreases.
One terminal of the sensor is grounded so that the sensor resistance and voltage decrease as the temperature rises.
The ECM calculates the ATF temperature based on the voltage signal. |

This
DTC indicates that there is a problem with the output signals from the
ATF temperature sensor and that the sensor itself is defective. The ATF
temperature sensor converts the ATF temperature into an electrical
resistance value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the ATF
temperature and detects an open or short in the ATF temperature circuit
or a malfunction of the ATF temperature sensor. After
driving the vehicle for a certain period of time, the ATF temperature
should increase. If the ATF temperature is below 20°C (68°F) after
driving the vehicle for a certain period, the ECM interprets this as a
malfunction, illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC. If
the ATF temperature is 110°C (230°F) or higher and the engine coolant
temperature takes 10 seconds or more to reach 60°C (140°F) after a cold
start, the ECM also interprets this as a malfunction, illuminates the
MIL and stores this DTC. MONITOR STRATEGY |

- If DTCs P071000, P261029 and/or P261093 are output simultaneously, using
the Techstream, check if the ATF temperature is as specified under the
"Normal Condition" column of the Data List. If the ATF temperature is as
specified under the "Normal Condition" column, perform troubleshooting
for DTC P261029.

DATA LIST NOTICE: In
the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are
reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when
deciding whether a part is faulty or not. HINT: Using
the Techstream to read the Data List allows the values or states of
switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing
any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because
intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or
wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in
troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. (a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the engine switch off. (c) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the engine switch on (IG). (e) Turn the Techstream on.
(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Data List / A/T Oil Temperature No.1.
(g) Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream. Powertrain > Transmission > Data List
