To lubricate the automatic transmission selector sensor, it is recommended to use electrically conductive lubricant. It has the following properties:
* High temperature resistance, preventing lubricant washout and evaporation even at high temperatures.
* Improves electrical conductivity by reducing resistance between sensor contacts.
* Protects against corrosion and oxidation, extending sensor life.
* Reduces friction and wear on the mechanical parts of the sensor, ensuring smooth and reliable operation.
Some recommended brands of electrically conductive lubricant for automatic transmission selector sensors:
*CRC 2-26
* DeoxIT D5
* Bergquist E-Z-FIRM
* Dow Corning Hi-Temp 4
* TriboDyn HY-100
Instructions for lubricating the automatic transmission selector sensor:
1. Disconnect the battery to prevent short circuit.
2. Determine the location of the automatic transmission selector sensor, which is usually located under the console or next to the gear shift lever.
3. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the sensor.
4. Carefully remove the old sensor and lubricate it with electrically conductive grease at the following points:
* Sensor contacts
* Contact points between the sensor and the selector shaft
5. Reinstall the sensor and connect the electrical connectors.
6. Connect the battery and check the operation of the automatic transmission selector sensor.
