Location of automatic transmission temperature sensor for Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2:
1. Located on the gearbox housing.
2. Typically located at the rear of the transmission, near the oil filter or pan.
3. Can be connected to the wiring harness going to the Transmission Control Unit (TCU).
Types of automatic transmission temperature sensors:
* Thermistor sensor (resistance changes with temperature)
* Thermocouple sensor (generates voltage based on temperature difference)
Automatic transmission temperature sensor function:
*Detects transmission fluid temperature.
* Sends data to TCU to adjust transmission operation.
* The TCU uses this data to adjust fluid pressure, shift gears and provide overheat protection.
Possible symptoms of a faulty automatic transmission temperature sensor:
* Inaccurate display of transmission fluid temperature
* Slipping or misalignment of gears
* Delay when shifting gears
* Transmission overheating
