Transmission Speed Sensor: Service and Repair
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
Output Speed Sensor Component (2WD Models Only)
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Components
Removal
1. Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
2. Drain ATF through drain plug.
3. Remove exhaust front tube and center muffler with power tool. Refer to Removal and Installation
4. Remove rear propeller shaft. Refer to Removal and Installation.
5. Remove control rod. Refer to Control Rod Removal and Installation.
5. Remove control rod. Refer to Control Rod Removal and Installation.
6. Disconnect heated oxygen sensor 2 harness connectors (A).
7. Remove heated oxygen sensor 2 harness (B) from clips (1).
8. Remove clips (1) and brackets (2).
9. Remove oil pan (3) and oil pan gasket.
10. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of malfunction. If the ATF is very dark, smells burned, or contains foreign particles, the frictional material (clutches, band) may need replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo, and clutches to stick and can inhibit pump pressure.
- If frictional material is detected, perform A/T fluid cooler cleaning. Refer to Component.
11. Support A/T assembly with a transmission jack.
CAUTION:
When setting transmission jack, place wooden blocks to prevent from damaging control valve with TCM and transmission case.
12. Remove rear engine mounting member with power tool.
13. Remove tightening bolts (1) for output shaft and companion flange complement and transmission case.
14. Tap output shaft and companion flange complement with a soft hammer.
15. Remove output shaft and companion flange complement from transmission case
16. Straighten terminal clip ( ) to free output speed sensor harness.
17. Disconnect output speed sensor connector (1).
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage connector
18. Remove output speed sensor (1) from transmission case.
CAUTION:
- Never subject it to impact by dropping or hitting it.
- Never disassemble.
- Never allow metal filings, etc., to get on the sensor's front edge magnetic area.
- Never place in an area affected by magnetism.
Installation
CAUTION:
After completing installation, check A/T fluid leakage, A/T fluid level and A/T position. Refer to , 5AT RE5R05A.
1. Install output speed sensor (1) in transmission case. Tighten a necessary bolt ( ) for output speed sensor with specified torque. Refer to "Components".
CAUTION:
- Never subject it to impact by dropping or hitting it.
- Never disassemble.
- Never allow metal filings, etc., to get on the sensor's front edge magnetic area.
- Never place in an area affected by magnetism.
2. Connect output speed sensor connector (1).
3. Securely fasten output speed sensor (1) harness with clip ( ).
4. Apply recommended sealant (Genuine Anaerobic Liquid Gasket or equivalent. Refer to Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants.) to output shaft and companion flange complement as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
Completely remove all moisture, oil and old sealant, etc. from the transmission case and output shaft and companion flange complement mounting surfaces.
5. Install output shaft and companion flange complement to transmission case.
6. Tighten output shaft and companion flange complement bolts (1) to the specified torque. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION".
CAUTION:
Never reuse self-sealing bolts (2). Refer to GI section to make sure icons (symbol marks) in the figure.
7. Install rear engine mounting member. Refer to Transmission Assembly.
8. Install oil pan gasket to oil pan.
CAUTION:
- Never reuse oil pan gasket.
- Install it in the direction to align hole positions.
- Complete remove all moisture, oil and old gasket, etc. from oil pan gasket mounting surface.
9. Install oil pan (3) (with oil pan gasket), clips (1) and brackets (2) to transmission case.
CAUTION:
- Install it so that drain plug comes to the position as shown in the figure.
- Be careful not to pinch harnesses.
- Completely remove all moisture, oil and old gasket, etc. from oil pan mounting surface.
- Be careful with installation direction of brackets (2).
10. Tighten oil pan mounting bolts to the specified torque in numerical order shown in the figure after temporarily tightening them.
Tighten oil pan mounting bolts to the specified torque. Refer to "Components".
CAUTION:
Never reuse oil pan mounting bolts.
11. Install drain plug to oil pan. Tighten a necessary drain plug with specified torque. Refer to "Components".
CAUTION:
Never reuse drain plug and drain plug gasket.
12. Connect heated oxygen sensor 2 harness connectors (A).
13. Install heated oxygen sensor 2 harness (B) to clips (1).
14. Install control rod. Refer to Control Rod Removal and Installation.
15. Install rear propeller shaft. Refer to Removal and Installation.
