CVT CONTROL SYSTEM : CVT Fluid Temperature Sensor

The CVT fluid temperature sensor is installed to control valve.
The CVT fluid temperature sensor detects CVT fluid temperature in oil pan.
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.
