Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor Outline
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mazda RX-8, 2007 Mazda RX-8, 2006 Mazda RX-8, 2005 Mazda RX-8, and 2004 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The TFT sensor detects the ATF temperature in the oil pan, and sends the control signal to the TCM. The TCM controls the driving pattern selection and the torque converter clutch based on the signal from the TFT sensor.
