CALCULATED TEMPERATURE Chrysler PT Cruiser I

CALCULATED TEMPERATURE

A failure in the temperature sensor or circuit will result in calculated temperature being substituted for actual temperature. Calculated temperature is a predicted fluid temperature which is calculated from a combination of inputs

1. Battery (ambient) temperature
2. Engine coolant temperature
3. In-gear run time since start-up

The valve body assembly must be removed to gain access to and replace the transmission range sensor.

The valve body assembly consists of a cast aluminum valve body, a separator plate, and transfer plate. The valve body contains valves and check balls that control fluid delivery to the torque converter clutch, solenoid/pressure switch assembly, and frictional clutches. The valve body contains the following components. (Scheme 385)

1. Regulator valve
2. Solenoid switch valve
3. Manual valve
4. Converter clutch switch valve
5. Converter clutch control valve
6. Torque converter regulator valve
7. Low/Reverse switch valve

In addition, the valve body also contains the thermal valve, #2,3&4 check balls, the #5 (overdrive) check valve and the 2/4 accumulator assembly. (Refer to TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 41TE/VALVE BODY - DISASSEMBLY)
