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

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


DESCRIPTION

The Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) temperature sensor is on the transmission, just in front of the oil cooler inlet pipeline.
If the ECM detects an abnormally high ATF temperature near this sensor, it illuminates the warning light.
HINT:
  1. The temperature of ATF easily rises when towing, climbing hills, in traffic, etc.
  2. If the 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 light 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)
When conditions (a) and (b) are satisfied.
(a) ATF temperature higher than 130°C (266°F)
(b) Engine coolant temperature higher than 95°C (203°F)
Lock-up at 3rd gear*2
ATF temperature below 110°C (230°F)*1 and engine coolant temperature higher than 95°C (203°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 the 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 the ATF temperature is normal, transmission lock-up occurs in 5th or 6th gear with the shift lever in D or the S6 range, in 5th gear with the shift lever in the S5 range, and 4th gear with the shift lever in the S4 range.

ATF temperature sensor resistance is higher than 156 kΩ (4.915 V) for 0.5 sec. or more and either condition is met (1 trip detection logic):
(A) 15 min. 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 sec. 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. 1 transmission wire (No. 2 ATF temperature sensor)
  3. ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ATF temperature sensor converts the ATF temperature into an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the ATF temperature, and the ECM detects an open or short in the ATF temperature circuit. If the resistance value of the ATF temperature is below 25 Ω*1 or higher than 156 kΩ*2, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the ATF sensor or wiring. The ECM stores a DTC, and the ATF temperature warning light blinks or a message is displayed in the combination meter.
HINT:
  1. *1: 150°C (302°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


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.

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