Yes there is no reasion why it won't. The temp sensor is a special resistor that reduces its resistance as it gets hotter.

At 20 degs C/68F it has a resistance of about 2.5Kohms
At 80 degs C/176F it goes down to about 330 ohms. Which brings the ATF light on ,and changes the shift points to move more ATF through the cooler.

Running a wire from one side of the sensor, to a switch, to a 220/330ohm resistor, then back to the other side of the sensor wire, will drop the resistance to a level low enought to do it. If the resistance is too low, the TCU may post a code.

I wonder if this would work on the FWD models, as they have no ATF temp warning light.

Does anyone know how the power mode switch works in the Euro model SVXen? Does anyone have a wiring diagram from one of these "switch-equipped" models? I suppose all you'd really need is a quality wiring diagram to tell you where to start.
