DTC P2742 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "B" Circuit Low

DTC P2743 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "B" Circuit High


DESCRIPTION

The No. 2 ATF temperature sensor is on the transmission, just in front of the oil cooler inlet pipeline.
If the TCM detects an abnormally high ATF temperature near this sensor, it illuminates the warning indicator.
HINT:
  1. The temperature of ATF easily rises when towing, climbing hills, in traffic, etc.
  2. If the No. 2 ATF temperature sensor becomes short-circuited, the signal that indicates that the ATF temperature is 193°C (379.4°F) or higher is input into the TCM.
Vehicle conditions when the sensor is normal and when the sensor is short-circuited are indicated in the table below.

Any conditions
  1. ATF temperature warning indicator remains on
  2. Shift point too high
Symptoms still occur
Engine coolant temperature higher than 95°C (203°F)
Lock-up at 3rd gear*2
Symptoms still occur
HINT:
*1: When the ATF is normal, it decreases to below 135°C (275°F) within 5 minutes with the shift lever in P or N in an idling state.
*2: When the ATF temperature is normal, transmission lock-up occurs in 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th gear with the shift lever in D or with the S8 range selected, in 5th, 6th or 7th gear with the S7 range selected, in 5th or 6th gear with the S6 range selected and in 5th gear with the S5 range selected.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The No. 2 ATF temperature sensor converts the ATF temperature into an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the TCM determines the ATF temperature, and the TCM detects an open or short in the No. 2 ATF temperature sensor circuit. If the resistance value of the No. 2 ATF temperature sensor is below 79 Ω*1 or higher than 156 kΩ*2, the TCM interprets this as a fault in the No. 2 ATF temperature sensor or wiring. The TCM stores a DTC.
HINT:
  1. *1: 193°C (379.4°F) or higher is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
  2. *2: -40°C (-40°F) is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
  3. The ATF temperature can be checked on the GTS display.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
Perform registration and/or initialization when parts related to the automatic transmission are replaced (Click here).
HINT:
After performing repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.
  1. Start the engine.
  2. Wait for 60 seconds or more with the shift lever in D.
  3. Check for DTCs again (Click here).

DATA LIST
NOTICE:
In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.
HINT:
Using the GTS to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.

  1. Warm up the engine.

  2. Turn the engine switch off.

  3. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

  5. Turn the GTS on.

  6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List / A/T Oil Temperature 3.

  7. According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.

    2. While engine is cold: Equal to ambient temperature
    		If value is -40°C (-40°F) or 193°C (379.4°F), No. 2 ATF temperature sensor circuit is open or short circuited
    HINT:
    1. When DTC P2742 is stored and the GTS shows 193°C (379.4°F) or higher, there is a short circuit.
    2. When DTC P2743 is stored and the GTS shows -40°C (-40°F), there is an open circuit.
      Check the temperature displayed on the GTS in order to check if a malfunction exists.
