.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The PCM (terminal 124) applies 5 volts to the 

transmission fluid temperature sensor output ter-
minal (terminal 1).

•  The transmission fluid temperature sensor circuit 

is grounded to the PCM (terminal 57).

• When the transmission fluid temperature is cold, 

the transmission fluid temperature sensor resis-
tance is high. When the transmission fluid tem-
perature is hot, the transmission fluid 
temperature sensor resistance is low.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
If transmission fluid temperature is below specified 
value even after driving test for more than specified 
period, PCM judges that transmission fluid tempera-
ture sensor has a failure.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION
Continuous

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (Other

function
