DTC P274A-11: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "C" Circuit Short to Ground; DTC P274A-15: Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "C" Circuit Short to Auxiliary Battery or Open [12/2019 - 11/2023]: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The resistance of the thermistor built into the transmission fluid temperature sensor changes in accordance with changes in the transmission fluid temperature. The lower the transmission fluid temperature, the higher the thermistor resistance. Conversely, the higher the transmission fluid temperature, the lower the resistance.
