AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSIS

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

23A-48

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991958: Diagnostic Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using diagnostic tool MB991958, check data list 
item 7: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to diagnostic tool MB991958, always 
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position 
before connecting or disconnecting diagnostic tool 
MB991958.
(1) Connect diagnostic tool MB991958 to the data link 

connector.

(2) Start the engine.
(3) Set diagnostic tool MB991958 to the data reading mode.

• Item 7: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor.

• When the engine is cool: Diagnostic tool display is 

almost equal to the ambient temperature (atmo-
spheric temperature)

NOTE: Set diagnostic tool MB991958 to the Engine 
MPI data list reading mode for item number 5, Intake 
Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor and note the tempera-
ture measurement. When the engine is cool, the 
temperature should be almost equal to the ambient 
temperature (atmospheric temperature), and the IAT 
sensor measurement should be approximately the 
same as the Transmission Fluid Temperature Sen-
sor.

• When the engine is warm, at approximately running 

temperature: 70 

− 80°C.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-14

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Measure the sensor output voltage at the A/T 
control solenoid valve assembly connector B-108 by 
backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect connector B-108.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and ground by 

backprobing.

• When transmission fluid temperature is 20°C (68°F), 

voltage should measure between 3.8 and 4.0 volts.

• When transmission fluid temperature is 40°C (104°F), 

voltage should measure between 3.2 and 3.4 volts.

• When transmission fluid temperature is 80°C (176°F), 

voltage should measure between 1.7 and 1.9 volts.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the measured voltage within the specified range?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check A/T control solenoid valve assembly 
connector B-108 for loose, corroded or damaged 
terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.
Q: Are the connector and terminals in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair or replace the damaged components. Refer to 

GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

STEP 4. Check the sensor output voltage at A/T control 
solenoid valve assembly connector B-108.
(1) Disconnect connector B-108 and measure at the harness 

side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and ground.

• The voltage should measure between 4.5 and 4.9 volts.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q: Is the measured voltage between 4.5 and 4.9 volts?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Go to Step 7.

STEP 5. Check the transmission fluid temperature sensor 
at A/T control solenoid valve assembly connector B-108.
(1) Disconnect connector B-108 and measure at the sensor 

side.

(2) Measure the resistance between terminal 1 and 2.

• When transmission fluid temperature is 0°C (32°F), 

resistance should be between 16.7 and 20.5 k

Ω.

• When transmission fluid temperature is 20°C (68°F), 

resistance should be between 7.3 and 8.9 k

Ω.

• When transmission fluid temperature is 40°C (104°F), 

resistance should be between 3.4 and 4.2 k

Ω.

• When transmission fluid temperature is 60°C (140°F), 

resistance should be between 1.9 and 2.2 k

Ω.

• When transmission fluid temperature is 80°C (176°F), 

resistance should be between 1.0 and 1.2 k

Ω.

• When transmission fluid temperature is 100°C (212°F), 

resistance should be between 0.57 and 0.69 k

Ω.

Q: Is the measured resistance within the specified range?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Replace the transmission fluid temperature sensor.
