Hyundai Elantra MD/UD: Transaxle
Oil Temperature Sensor. Description and Operation
Description
Transaxle Oil Temperature Sensor(OTS) monitors the automatic transaxle
fluid's temperature and conveys the readings to Transaxle Control Module(TCM).
It is an Negativen Thermal Coefficient(NTC) sensor whose resistance has an inversely
proportional relationship with the temperature level. Data produced by this
sensor is used to identify Damper Clutch (D/C) activation and deactivation zones
within the low temperature and high temperature range and to compensate hydraulic
pressure levels during gear changes.
