Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Chevrolet Suburban 3500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Circuit Description
Signal The control module input circuit has an internal resistance connected to 5 V.
Low Reference Grounded through the control module.
Component Description
B13 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor
  • The temperature sensor is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor, a resistor which changes based on temperature.
  • The component B13 is part of the wiring harness: Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness
K71 Transmission Control Module The control module contains a microprocessor used to process input data to control outputs. The control module receives information from a variety of sensors, switches and serial data information from other control modules. This information is used to control a combination of solenoid valves to obtain the correct line pressure, gear ratio and torque converter clutch operation.

The sensor is an input to the control module K71. The input signal is used to determine the temperature of the fluid: Transmission
