MALFUNCTION DESCRIPTION
These DTCs are stored when the transmission fluid temperature sensor output is abnormal. The cause of this malfunction may be one of the following:
Motor generator control ECU (MG ECU) malfunction
Internal transmission fluid temperature sensor malfunction
Open or short in transmission fluid temperature sensor
The connectors are not connected properly
Foreign matter or water on the connector terminals
Open or short in wire harness
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.

After confirming that DTC P274A11 or P274A15 is output, use the GTS to check "Transaxle Oil Temperature" in the Data List.
| Displayed Temperature | Malfunction |
|---|---|
| -40°C (-40°F) | Open circuit or short to +B |
| 215°C (419°F) | Short to ground |
After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.
When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
With ignition switch ON and wait for 5 seconds or more. [*1]
[*1]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Motor Generator / Utility / All Readiness.
Check the DTC judgment result.
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE, perform the normal judgment procedure again.
Refer to the precautions before inspecting high voltage circuit.
After the ignition switch is turned off, there may be a waiting time before disconnecting the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
When disconnecting and reconnecting the auxiliary battery.
When disconnecting and reconnecting the auxiliary battery, there is an automatic learning function that completes learning when the respective system is used.

Check the connection condition of the transmission fluid temperature sensor connector and the contact pressure of each terminal. Check the terminals for deformation, and check the connector for water ingress and foreign matter.
- The connector is connected securely.
- The terminals are not deformed and are connected securely.
- No water or foreign matter in the connector.
