Transaxle oil temperature sensor monitors the automatic
transaxle fluid''s temperature and conveys the readings to TCM. It is an
NTC (Negative Thermal Coefficient) sensor whose resistance has an
inversely proportional relationship with the temperature level. Data
produced by this sensor is used to identify damper clutch activation and
deactivation zones within the low temperature and high temperature
range and to compensate hydraulic pressure levels during gear changes.
