How do you position a temperature sensor?
Location of your outdoor temperature sensor is important.
- Mount the sensor vertically at least 6 feet off the ground.
- Provide good airflow around the sensor.
- Direct sunlight can inflate the temperature reading, so a north-side, shaded location is best.
- If you have a solar panel on the sensor it will need to be charged.
Why does my thermostat say the wrong temperature?
One of the most common reasons that your thermostat is incorrectly reading your home’s temperature is that the temperature sensor is malfunctioning or has failed completely. Cleaning the inside of your thermostat may fix the issue. If there is too much dust inside, the sensor will have trouble working correctly.
Where is the transmission fluid temperature sensor located?
The sensor is often located in the transmission oil pan. The TFT sensor receives a reference voltage (usually 5 volts) from the PCM. It the varies its internal resistance in relation to transmission fluid temperature to send a return voltage signal to the PCM.
When does the Trans temp sensor go off?
Once trans is up to normal temperatures (few minutes of driving), it shoots down to off location at 0 and check gauge comes on and tow/haul flashes. I am correct to assume the sensor is gone bad right?
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
What happens to a TFT sensor when oil temperature goes up?
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. The TFT sensor signal voltage goes down when the transmission fluid temperature goes up and vice versa.
