2. Remove the splash shield. Front Splash Shield Replacement

3. Disconnect the shift solenoid harness connector.

4. Measure the ATF temperature sensor resistance between shift solenoid harness connector terminals No. 6 and No. 7.





5. If the resistance is out of standard, replace the ATF temperature sensor and the solenoid harness, then go to step 6. The ATF temperature sensor is not available separately from the solenoid harness.
If the measurement is within the standard, connect the connector securely, and install the splash shield. Front Splash Shield Replacement
