TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE SENSOR CHECK
1. Remove the transmission fluid temperature sensor.
2. Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of the transmission fluid temperature sensor connector.
Standard value
3. If the transmission fluid temperature sensor resistance is outside the specified range and the "N" range indicator light is flashing, replace the transmission fluid temperature sensor.
NOTE: The "N" range indicator light on the combination meter flashes when the temperature reaches approximately 125°C (257°F) or greater, and then stops flashing when the temperature drops below approximately 115°C (238°F).

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
