Transmission Temperature Sensor (Tts) (4L60-E, 4L80-E Chevrolet Astro I

Theory & Operation ~106 words

& 4T60-E Transmission)

TTS is a thermistor (temperature sensitive resistor) mounted to the transmission valve body. The control module supplies and monitors a 5-volt signal to TTS. This monitored 5-volt signal is then modified by resistance of TTS. When transmission fluid temperatures are low, TTS resistance is high and control module sees a high monitored voltage signal. When transmission fluid temperatures are high, TTS resistance is low and control module sees a low monitored voltage.

Control module uses transmission fluid temperature input in control of converter clutch application and shift quality. Sensor circuit problem should set a related trouble code.
