| B13 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor | The component B13 is part of the wiring harness:Automatic Transmission Wiring Harness The temperature sensor is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor, a resistor which changes based on temperature.
|
| 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
