Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch, A/T

At the transmission's normal operating temperature of 100°C (212°F), the voltage is approximately 1.5-2 volts.

The PCM supplies a 5-volt reference signal to the sensor. When the transmission fluid is cold, the sensor resistance is high and the PCM detects high signal voltage.
