Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2004 Ford Excursion, and 2004 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) sensor twist-locks into the solenoid body. The TFT is a temperature-sensitive device called a thermistor. As the transmission fluid temperature rises, the TFT resistance decreases. The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the voltage across the TFT sensor to determine transmission fluid temperature. The PCM uses the TFT signal as an input to determine cold and hot temperature shift and TCC scheduling.
