what is part # and cost for trans fluid temperature sensor?

[twinsteve]

How much labor is involved?

[TozoM8]

It is part of the trans wiring harness, I don't think you can buy it separately.

so you need a new trans wiring harness?

I don't think Tozo needs a new harness...sounds like you may need one...j/k LOL

twinsteve, how do you know you need one?

Just wondering as my beast just saw a code (but no CEL) for this and car seems to be working fine, and was trying to diagnose...

Not 100% sure, but I saw the same code you must have...along with TC and EGT sensor codes...no CEL though...going to dealer this week

I think some of it may be based off recommendation/comments in the other thread about the t/c failures..

You need to replace the temp sensor anyway, so you should do it and see if it fixes it. You will have to drop the pan to do it so clean the TCC solenoid while you are in there. It is the second from the left (driver's side). You need to remove the clamp that holds all of them in and just pull the TCC solenoid out to clean it.

Good luck to both of you on a resolution

I got the code 2 weeks after doing the TC

My code was the temp sensor only, no other codes which is strange. I did run my battery down not too long ago due to a brake switch issue (stayed on) which is now fixed (thanks to hahnmgh63). Cleared mine and will see if it comes back this week.

Let us know how it goes with the dealer.

If you just purchased the car and the Fidelity....I would tread very quietly and not let anyone call the extended warranty with a diagnosis until you get the news first. If you're in the first couple weeks of ownership and try a trans claim....look out.
