Condition




The oil temperature sensor sends a signal to the transmission control module (TCM) which is used for functions such as temperature controlled lock-up and initiating high-temperature programs. The sensor has an NTC (negative temperature coefficient) resistor. The signal decreases in proportion to increasing oil temperature. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) AT-142 is posted if the transmission control module (TCM) receives a signal from the oil temperature sensor corresponding to a temperature below -10 °C when the engine is started and that signal has not changed when the engine has been running for 10 minutes.
