DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
TFT sensor Overdrive switch
The TFT sensor is located in the oil pan on the
main control body and is part of the transmission
wiring harness.
It measures the current transmission fluid
temperature and sends the signal to the
transmission control unit.
The transmission control unit uses this signal for:
Cold start mode,
Engagement of the TCC,
Shift timing adaptation during upshifts,
' , Shift timing adaptation during shifts from 3rd to
4th gear,
Shift timing adaptation during shifts from 4th to
3rd gear,
Overheating protection mode.
Consequences of signal failure:
NoTCC,
no shift timing adaptation,
no 4th gear. The overdrive switch
is located on the selector
lever.
It allows the driver to suppress or enable gearshifts
into 4th gear when
"D" is selected.
The signal from the overdrive switch is transmitted
to the transmission control unit.
When gearshifts into 4th gear are suppressed, the
transmission control unit sends a corresponding
signal via the CAN
databus to the instrument
cluster. The instrument cluster then actuates the
overdrive indicator lamp.
Consequences of signal failure:
no suppression of gearshifts into 4th gear.

translates into the selection of the shift slot.
The shift cable is also moved in an axial direction
when a gear is selected with the gear lever. In the
