Purpose of the automatic transmission temperature sensor
The automatic transmission temperature sensor in a Hyundai Getz car is used to measure the temperature of the transmission fluid in an automatic transmission (automatic transmission). Information about the fluid temperature is transmitted to the automatic transmission control unit, which uses it to regulate the operation of the transmission.
Location of automatic transmission temperature sensor
In Hyundai Getz, the automatic transmission temperature sensor is usually located on the side cover of the automatic transmission, next to the transmission fluid filter.
Replacing the automatic transmission temperature sensor
1. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
2. Determine the location of the automatic transmission temperature sensor.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor.
4. Remove the sensor from the automatic transmission using a 24 mm hex wrench.
5. Lubricate the O-ring of the new sensor with automatic transmission oil.
6. Screw the new sensor into the automatic transmission.
