How can I test my Transmission, Oil, or Water Temperature Sensor to determine if it is working properly?Updated 2 hours ago

To test the resistance of your Transmission, Oil, or Water Temperature Sensor, you will need a digital multimeter. Set the multimeter to the 20,000-ohm scale and follow these steps:

  1. Place the red multimeter lead on the white wire of the temperature sensor.

  2. Place the black multimeter lead on the black wire.

  3. Take and record a resistance reading with the sensor cold.

  4. Heat the sensor and take a second resistance reading once the sensor is heated up.

Please record both the cold and heated resistance readings. These readings can help determine whether the temperature sensor is functioning properly.

For a step-by-step demonstration, watch our Temperature Sensor Testing Video.

If you need additional assistance interpreting your readings or troubleshooting the sensor, please contact our Technical Support Team.
