Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor

TFT sensor is a thermistor that changes resistance as transmission fluid temperature changes. Sensor resistance decreases as fluid temperature increases. Sensor resistance variation is converted into a voltage signal and sent to the PCM. The PCM uses this input signal to determine transmission fluid temperature.
