Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Circuit
Key terms: Control module: a small computer that runs one part of the car · SAE J2012: the standard generic code list · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions
1What it means in plain English
The transmission fluid temperature sensor circuit has a fault, so the transmission computer may not know how hot the fluid is.
2Common causes
- Faulty transmission fluid temperature sensor
- Damaged wiring or connector
- Low or dirty transmission fluid
- Internal transmission fault
- Transmission control module fault
3Can I drive?
Watch for a transmission temperature warning or rough shifting. Stop safely and let the transmission cool if the warning is on, the transmission slips, or the car is working hard (for example towing). Continued overheating can destroy the transmission.
This page gives general information. It is not professional advice. For a definite diagnosis and a repair quote, ask a qualified mechanic to inspect the car.
