Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Locations

CVT Automatic Transmission
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor
The TCM utilizes one transmission fluid temperature sensor which is integrated within the TCM. The TCM uses the sensor input to activate various operational strategies.

6 Speed Automatic Transmission






The transmission fluid temperature sensor, which is integrated within the transmission wiring, is installed on the front of the valve body. It directs the fluid temperature within the hydraulic pressure control circuit and transmits a signal based on that temperature to the TCM. Through this it controls gear shift, lockup and slip in response to changes in fluid temperature for smooth shifting across wide fluid temperature zones.
