Monitor Description

The CVT fluid temperature sensor converts the CVT fluid temperature to an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the CVT fluid temperature and can detect an open or short in the CVT fluid temperature circuit. If the resistance value of the CVT fluid temperature is less than 79 Ω*1 or more than 156 kΩ*2, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the CVT fluid temperature sensor or wiring, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

*1: 150°C (302°F) or more is indicated regardless of the actual CVT fluid temperature.

*2: -40°C (-40°F) is indicated regardless of the actual CVT fluid temperature.

The CVT fluid temperature can be checked in the Data List.
