Toyota Tacoma 2015-2018 Service Manual: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "B" Circuit Short to Battery or Open (P274015)

Toyota Tacoma 2015-2018 Service Manual / Ac60e Automatic Transmission / Transaxle / Automatic Transmission System(for 2gr-fks) / Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "B" Circuit Short to Battery or Open (P274015)

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:

The temperature of ATF easily rises when towing, climbing hills, in traffic, etc.

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 higher than 156 kΩ*, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the No. 2 ATF temperature sensor or wiring. The ECM stores the DTC.

*: -40°C (-40°F) is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.

HINT:

The ATF temperature can be checked on the Techstream display.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTC P071011 (See page CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT ).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Perform the universal trip to clear permanent DTCs (See page ).
Perform registration and/or initialization when parts related to the automatic transmission are replaced (See page ).

HINT:

After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.

Start the engine and wait for 15 minutes or more.
Check for DTCs again (See page ).

1. DATA LIST

HINT:

Using the Techstream 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.

(a) Warm up the engine.

(b) Turn the ignition switch off.

(d) Turn the ignition switch ON.

(e) Turn the Techstream on.

(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Data List.

(g) According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.

If the value -40°C (-40°F) or 150°C (302°F), No. 2 ATF temperature sensor circuit is open or shorted.

HINT:

When DTC P274011 is output and the Techstream indicates 150°C (302°F) or higher, there is a short circuit.
When DTC P274015 is output and the Techstream indicates -40°C (-40°F), there is an open circuit.
Check the temperature displayed on the Techstream in order to check if a malfunction exists.

PROCEDURE

1.	INSPECT NO. 2 ATF TEMPERATURE SENSOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE)

(a) Disconnect the E1 transmission wire connector.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
5 (OT2+) - 6 (OT2-)	Always	25 Ω to 156 kΩ
5 (OT2+) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
6 (OT2-) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

HINT:

If the resistance is out of the specified range at any of the ATF temperatures shown in the table below, the driveability of the vehicle may decrease.

ATF Temperature	Specified Condition
10°C (50°F)	5 to 8 kΩ
25°C (77°F)	2.5 to 4.5 kΩ
110°C (230°F)	0.22 to 0.28 kΩ
