Mazda 2: Transaxle Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor
TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR INSPECTION
CAUTION:
- Water or foreign objects entering the connector can cause a poor
connection or
corrosion. Be sure not to drop water or foreign objects on the connector
when
disconnecting it.
On-Vehicle Inspection
1. Disconnect the coupler component connector.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Disconnect the coupler component connector.

2. Measure the resistance between the coupler component terminals E and H.

- If there is any malfunction, replace the TFT sensor. (See TRANSAXLE
FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION).

Off-Vehicle Inspection
1. Place the TFT sensor and a thermometer in ATF as shown, and heat the ATF
gradually.

WARNING:
- A hot ATF and beaker can cause severe burns. Do not touch them.
2. Measure the resistance between the coupler component terminals E and H.

- If there is any malfunction, replace the TFT sensor.

TRANSAXLE FLUID TEMPERATURE (TFT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
WARNING:
- A hot transaxle and ATF can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and
wait until they
are cool.
- Using compressed air can cause dirt and other particles to fly out,
causing injury to the
eyes. Wear protective eyeglasses whenever using compressed air.
CAUTION:
- Water or foreign objects entering the connector can cause a poor
connection or
corrosion. Be sure not to drop water or foreign objects on the connector
when
disconnecting it.
1. Remove the control valve body.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Clean the transaxle exterior throughout with a steam cleaner or cleaning
solvents.
- Drain the ATF into a separate suitable container. (See AUTOMATIC
TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT).
- Remove the oil pan.
- Remove the control valve body. (See CONTROL VALVE BODY
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION).
- Disconnect the coupler component connector.

- Remove the coupler component from transaxle case.

- Remove the O-ring from the coupler component.
2. Install the control valve body.
- Apply ATF to a new O-ring and install it on the coupler component.
- Install the coupler component to transaxle case.
- Connect the coupler component connector.
- Install the control valve body. (See CONTROL VALVE BODY
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION).
CAUTION:
- If any sealant remains on the sealing surfaces of the transaxle case and
oil pan,
transaxle damage may occur. Use a cleaning fluid to remove any old sealant
from the
transaxle case and oil pan.
3. Apply a light coat of sealant (TB1217E or equivalent) to the contact
surfaces of the oil
pan and transaxle case.

4. Install the oil pan before the applied sealant starts to harden.
CAUTION:
- The removed bolts with spring washer cannot be reused. If they are
reused,
it could loosen the bolts due to spring weakness.
Tightening torque
- Flange bolt: 6.0-8.0 N*m {62-81 kgf*cm, 54-70 in*lbf}
- Bolt with spring washer: 8-10 N*m {82-101 kgf*cm, 71-88 in*lbf}
5. Add the ATF. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) REPLACEMENT).
6. Connect the negative battery cable.
7. Perform the "Mechanical System Test". (See MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST).
