Location of automatic transmission temperature sensor in Mitsubishi Pajero
The location of the automatic transmission temperature sensor in the Mitsubishi Pajero may vary depending on the year of manufacture and model. Here are the general places where it is usually located:
Automatic transmission pan:
* The automatic transmission pan is removed from the car.
* The temperature sensor is screwed into the pan, usually at the bottom.
Automatic transmission side:
* The temperature sensor is screwed into the side of the automatic transmission, next to the oil filter or oil pan.
Electrical connector:
* The temperature sensor is connected to an electrical connector, which is usually green or black.
Types of automatic transmission temperature sensors:
Thermistor (NTC):
* Changes resistance as temperature changes, usually increasing as temperature increases.
Semiconductor (PTC):
* Changes resistance as temperature changes, usually decreasing as temperature increases.
Signs of a faulty automatic transmission temperature sensor:
* Incorrect automatic transmission temperature readings
* Continuous or flickering automatic transmission fault indicator
* Problems with gear shifting
* Automatic transmission overheating
Replacing the automatic transmission temperature sensor:
Replacing an automatic transmission temperature sensor usually includes:
1. Disconnecting the electrical connector.
2. Unscrew the sensor using a wrench or ratchet.
3. Screwing in the new sensor.
4. Connecting the electrical connector.
5. Restart the engine and check that the sensor is working correctly.
