DTC P2742 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "B" Circuit Low Input

DTC P2743 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "B" Circuit High Input


DESCRIPTION

The No. 2 ATF temperature sensor is installed in the transmission valve body assembly.
If the ECM 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 150°C (302°F) or higher is input into the ECM.
Vehicle conditions when the sensor is normal and when the sensor is short-circuited are indicated in the table below.

No. 2 ATF Temperature Sensor State
Detection Condition
Symptom
Recovery Condition
Sensor is normal
ATF temperature higher than 150°C (302°F)
ATF temperature warning indicator remains on
ATF temperature below 135°C (275°F)*1
ATF temperature higher than 130°C (266°F)
Shift point too high
ATF temperature below 110°C (230°F)
Sensor is short-circuited
Any conditions
  1. ATF temperature warning light blinks or message is displayed in combination meter
  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 ATF temperature is in the normal range, 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 ATF temperature is normal, transmission lock-up occurs in 4th, 5th and 6th gear with the shift lever in D or with the S6 range selected, in 4th or 5th gear with the S5 range selected, and 4th gear with the S4 range selected.

No. 2 ATF temperature sensor resistance is below 25 Ω for 0.5 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic).

  2. No. 2 ATF temperature sensor (transmission wire)
  3. ECM
P2743
No. 2 ATF temperature sensor resistance is higher than 156 kΩ for 0.5 seconds or more and either condition is met (1 trip detection logic):
(A) 15 minutes or more have elapsed after the engine start when the engine coolant temperature or intake air temperature is -29.375°C (-20.875°F) or less.
(B) 10 seconds or more have elapsed after the engine start when the engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature are higher than -29.375°C (-20.875°F).
  1. Open in No. 2 ATF temperature sensor circuit
  2. No. 2 ATF temperature sensor (transmission wire)
  3. ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The No. 2 ATF temperature sensor converts the ATF temperature to an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the ATF temperature and 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 25 Ω*1 or higher than 156 kΩ*2, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the No. 2 ATF temperature sensor or wiring. The ECM stores the DTC, and the ATF temperature warning light blinks or a message is displayed in the combination meter.
*1: 150°C (302°F) or higher is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
*2: -40°C (-40°F) is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
HINT:
The ATF temperature can be checked on the GTS display.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTC P0712 (LandCruiser RM000000W850T1X_07.html).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
Perform registration and/or initialization when parts related to the automatic transmission are replaced (LandCruiser RM000000O7H0HSX.html).
HINT:
After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.
  1. Start the engine and wait for 15 minutes or more.
  2. Check for DTCs again (LandCruiser RM000000W7711KX.html).

DATA LIST
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.
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.
  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 / Engine and ECT / Data List.

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

    Max.: 150°C (302°F)
    1. Approx. 80°C (176°F): After stall test
    2. Equal to ambient temperature when cold soak
    If the value -40°C (-40°F) or 150°C (302°F), No. 2 ATF temperature sensor circuit is open or shorted.
    HINT:
    1. When DTC P2742 is output and the GTS indicates 150°C (302°F) or higher, there is a short circuit.
    2. When DTC P2743 is output and the GTS indicates -40°C (-40°F), there is an open circuit.
      Check the temperature displayed on the GTS in order to check if a malfunction exists.
