The hydraulic fluid temperature sensor is a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) sensor, which is integral to the pump assembly. The sensor informs the control module as to the temperature of the hydraulic fluid. If the fluid temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the control module will stop pump operation to prevent the valve block from overheating. Once the fluid temperature decreases below the predetermined value, the control module will then resume pump operation.
