MONITOR DESCRIPTION
These DTCs indicate an open or short in the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature sensor (TFT
sensor) circuit. The automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature sensor converts ATF temperature to
an electrical resistance value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the ATF temperature, and
the ECM detects an opens or shorts in the ATF temperature circuit. If the resistance value of the ATF
temperature is less than 79
*1or more than 156 k *2, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the ATF
sensor or wiring. The ECM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.
*1: 150
C (302F) or more is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
*2: -40
C (-40F) is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
HINT:
The ATF temperature can be checked on the OBD II scan tool or intelligent tester display.

DESCRIPTION
The ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature sensor converts the fluid temperature into a
resistance value which is input into the ECM.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The 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 ATF
temperature circuit or a fault in the ATF temperature sensor.
After running the vehicle for a certain period, the ATF temperature should increase. If the ATF
temperature is below 20
C (68F) after running the vehicle for a certain period, the ECM interprets this as
a fault, and turns on the MIL.
When the ATF temperature is 110
C (230F) or more after 17 minutes of engine cold start, the ECM also
determines this as a fault, turns on the MIL, and stores the DTC.

DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the rotation speed of the input turbine. By comparing the input turbine speed signal
(NT) with the counter gear speed sensor signal (NC), the ECM detects the shift timing of the gears and
appropriately controls the engine torque and hydraulic pressure according to various conditions. Thus,
providing smooth gear shift.
Reference (Using an oscilloscope):
Check the waveform between terminals NT+ and NT- of the ECM connector.
Standard: Refer to the illustration.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The NT terminal of the ECM detects a revolution signal from the speed sensor (NT) (input RPM). The
ECM calculates a gearshift comparing the speed sensor (NT) with the speed sensor (NC).
While the vehicle is operating in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear in the shift position of D, if the input shaft
revolution is less than 300 rpm
*1although the output shaft revolution is more than 1,000 rpm *2, the ECM
detects the trouble, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
*1: Pulse is not output or is irregularly output.
*2: The vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or more.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the signals from the throttle position sensor, air-flow meter, turbine (input) speed sensor,
intermediate (counter) shaft speed sensor and crankshaft position sensor to monitor the engagement
condition of the lock-up clutch.
Then the ECM compares the engagement condition of the lock-up clutch with the lock-up schedule in the
ECM memory to detect a mechanical problems of the shift solenoid valve DSL, valve body and torque
converter clutch.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
Torque converter lock-up is controlled by the ECM based on the speed sensor (NT), speed sensor (NC),
engine rpm, engine load, engine temperature, vehicle speed, transmission temperature, and gear
selection. The ECM determines the lock-up status of the torque converter by comparing the engine rpm
(NE) to the input turbine rpm (NT). The ECM calculates the actual transmission gear by comparing input
turbine rpm (NT) to counter gear rpm (NC). When conditions are appropriate, the ECM requests "lock-up"
by applying control voltage to the shift solenoid DSL. When the DSL is turned on, it applies pressure to the
lock-up relay valve and locks the torque converter clutch.
If the ECM detects no lock-up after lock-up has been requested or if it detects lock-up when it is not
requested, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the shift solenoid valve DSL or lock-up system
performance. The ECM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.
HINT:
Example:
When any of the following is met, the system judges it as a malfunction.
• There is a difference in rotation between the input side (engine speed) and output side (input turbine
speed) of the torque converter when the ECM commands lock-up.
(Engine speed is at least 100 rpm greater than input turbine speed.)
• There is no difference in rotation between the input side (engine speed) and output side (input turbine
speed) of the torque converter when the ECM commands lock-up off.
(The difference between engine speed and input turbine speed is less than 35 rpm.)
