Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation

Transaxle Temperature Sensor Circuit:

Purpose:
The Transaxle Temperature Sensor is a thermistor used to indicate transaxle fluid temperature.

Operation:
High sensor resistance produces high signal input voltage which corresponds to low fluid temperature. Low sensor resistance produces low signal input voltage which corresponds to high fluid temperature.

Location:
The Transaxle Temperature Sensor is located inside the transaxle.
