CVT CONTROL SYSTEM: CVT Fluid Temperature Sensor

The CVT fluid temperature sensor is included in the control valve assembly.
The CVT fluid temperature sensor detects the CVT fluid temperature and sends a signal to the TCM.
The fluid temperature sensor uses a thermistor, and changes the signal voltage by converting changes in the CVT fluid temperature to a resistance value. TCM evaluates the CVT fluid temperature from the signal voltage value.
