| 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.
|
| 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
