Description and Operation

Description

  • The sensor used is a thermistor (NTC), whose resistance changes with temperature.

  • When the TCM supplies power to the sensor, the sensor output value changes depending on the ATF temperature.

  • The transmission fluid temperature sensor is integrated into the E-module.
