Which is the best place to install Trans temp sensor?
The average / constant temperature of the fluid in the pan – about to enter your trans – is what you should be concerned with the most. (After all, if you install one sensor on the outbound line and one on the inbound line, don’t you automatically average the to two in your, “Is my trans temp too high?”
How do you install a transmission oil temperature gauge?
Run a length of wire from the temperature gauge to the ignition switch or fuse block using the wire supplied with the kit. Bare 1/4″ of the end of the wire at the temperature gauge. Install an eyelet terminal on the end of the wire and crimp it tightly with a pair of pliers.
When to worry about a high trans temp?
While it is true that the line from the trans (TC) to the cooler will carry the fluid at its highest temp, the fluid is only at that high temp for a few seconds, and may not be indicative of a real problem. The average / constant temperature of the fluid in the pan – about to enter your trans – is what you should be concerned with the most.
What should transmission temperature be in high heat?
High heat conditions are destructive of both transmission friction materials and transmission compo- nents. Transmission operation in the normal operating range of 150°F to 250°F will ensure long life and dependable service. This gauge will work with all 12 volt negative ground electrical systems.
How does a trans fluid temp sensor work?
It the varies its internal resistance in relation to transmission fluid temperature to send a return voltage signal to the PCM. TFT sensors are a type of negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor. This means internal resistance of the sensor is inversely proportional to the oil temperature.
How to replace the transmission temp sensor in a Ford Fusion?
I have a 2011 Ford Fusion with the 6 speed trans. How do I replace the transmission temp sensor? I’m throwing code p1783. Engine: 3.0L. Transmission 6 speed semi automatic. Miles ~115k; Bought @ 53k. Had regular transmission flushes since then. Last one late 2015 @ maybe 70k.
Where is the best place to put a temp sensor?
Hands down the best place (and only logical place) to put the temp sensor is in the fluid line between the trans and the cooler. You want to measure the fluid’s temp after it leaves the trans and BEFORE it reaches the cooler to get an accurate reading on just how hot the fluid is getting.
When to use the transmission fluid temperature code p0713?
Code P0713 is set when the PCM detects a high transmission fluid temperature sensor signal. This usually indicates an open circuit. An example of a transmission fluid temperature sensor: Related trans fluid temperature sensor “A” circuit codes: P0710 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor A Circuit Malfunction
