DESCRIPTION
Oil Temperature Sensor
The oil temperature sensor is of the thermistor type, and senses the automatic transaxle fluid temperature. Using the
signal from this sensor, TCM(PCM) controls the shift pattern optimally during shift. In order to operate the damper
clutch, this signal is also referred.
- Range of temperature : - 40°C~145°C
- Type: Separated type (High / Low temperature)

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Transmission oil inspection and replacement
1. After parking the vehicle on a plain, stop the engine.
2. After removing the oil filler plug and washer, inspect the manual transaxle fluid condition and quantity.
3. If the manual transaxle fluid is contaminated, drain it out by removing the oil drain plug.
4. Tighten the new oil drain plug and feed manual transaxle fluid to a proper level.
TORQUE:
29.4~34.4 Nm(3.0~3.5kgf.m, 21.7~25.3lb - ft)
Oil type: SAE75W/85
Oil quantity:
1.9 liter(2.0077 US qt, 1.6718 lmp qt)
5. Retighten the oil filler plug with a new washer.
TORQUE:
29.4~34.4 Nm(3.0~3.5kgf.m, 21.7~25.3lb - ft)
Back up lamp switch inspection
1.Disconnect the back up lamp switch connector(B).
2.Inspect the continuity of the switch. When the shift lever is located in reverse range, it should be applied an electric
current.
3. Replace the back up lamp switch, if necessary.
TORQUE:
29.4~34.4 Nm(3.0~3.5kgf.m, 21.7~25.3lb - ft)
