What happens when a TFT sensor goes bad?

If the fluid temperature reaches a threshold set by the manufacturer; 300° F or so, the TCM sets a fault code and illuminates the MIL to inform the driver. A faulty TFT sensor affects the torque converter and the transmission’s line pressure.

Is there a trans fluid temp sensor for Ford F250?

This sensor fixed my P0710 Trans Fluid Temp Sensor A Circuit error and P0173 Trans Fluid Temp Sensor Circuit A High error and neither have returned. Solved the Problem! Easy fix for my erratic transmission temperature sensor and resulting dash warnings/codes on my 2005 F250 (diesel).

What is a transmission temperature sensor?

A (TFT) transmission fluid temperature sensor is one of several sensors providing input to the (TCM) transmission control module. It’s located in the valve body or oil pan of the transmission or transaxle. The TCM uses this sensor to monitor the temperature of the transmission fluid.

Where is the temperature sensor located in a transaxle?

It’s located in the valve body or oil pan of the transmission or transaxle. The TCM uses this sensor to monitor the temperature of the transmission fluid.
