Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is located on the solenoid valve body. The PCM monitors voltage across the TFT thermistor to determine transaxle fluid temperature. Depending on temperature, the PCM controls line pressure, shift scheduling and TCC operation. Malfunction of sensor will cause incorrect line pressure and possible lack of TCC operation.
