Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
| 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 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
The control module uses this data, along with other data, to adjust or control the following:
- Driver Alert Indicator - Transmission Hot - Idle Engine
- Line Pressure
- Torque Converter Clutch
- Transmission Adaptive Values Learn
- Transmission Hot Mode
