| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P2740 | Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "B" Circuit |
| P2742 | Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "B" Circuit Low Input |
| P2743 | Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "B" Circuit High Input |
DESCRIPTION
The No. 1 ATF temperature sensor is installed in the transmission valve body assembly.
The TCM applies a voltage to the temperature sensor through terminal THO of the TCM. The sensor resistance changes with the ATF temperature. As the temperature becomes higher, the sensor resistance decreases. One terminal of the sensor is grounded so that the sensor resistance decreases and the voltage goes down as the temperature becomes higher.
The TCM calculates the fluid temperature based on the voltage signal.
| DTC Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P2740 | (a) and (b) are detected momentarily within 0.5 sec. when neither P2742 or P2743 are detected. (1-trip detection logic)
Tech Tips Within 0.5 sec., the malfunction switches from (a) to (b) or from (b) to (a). |
|
| P2742 | No. 1 ATF temperature sensor voltage is below 79 Ω for 0.5 sec. or more (1-trip detection logic). |
|
| P2743 | When 15 minutes or more have elapsed after the engine is started, No. 1 ATF temperature sensor voltage is higher than 156 kΩ for 0.5 sec. or more (1-trip detection logic). |
|
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The No. 1 ATF temperature sensor converts the ATF temperature to an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the TCM determines the ATF temperature and detects an open or short in the No. 1 ATF temperature sensor circuit. If the resistance value of the No. 1 ATF temperature sensor is below 79 Ω*1 or higher than 156 kΩ*2, the TCM interprets this as a fault in the No. 1 ATF temperature sensor or wiring. The TCM will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.
Tech Tips
*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.
The ATF temperature can be checked on the GTS display.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
DATA LIST
Tech Tips
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.
Note
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.
Warm up the engine.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List.
According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.
| Tester Display | Measurement Item/Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| A/T Oil Temperature 1 | No. 1 ATF temperature sensor value/ Min.: -40°C (-40°F) Max.: 150°C (302°F) |
|
If the value is -40°C (-40°F) or 150°C (302°F), the No. 1 ATF temperature sensor circuit is open or shorted. |
Tech Tips
When DTC P2742 is output and the GTS output is 150°C (302°F) or higher, there is a short circuit.
When DTC P2743 is output 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.
| Temperature Displayed | Malfunction |
|---|---|
| -40°C (-40°F) | Open circuit |
| 150°C (302°F) or higher | Short circuit |
