The sensor is an NTC (negative temperature
coefficient) (negative temperature coefficient)
sensor. The voltage supply is 5 V. The transmission
fluid temperature is detected by measuring the
voltage drop across the NTC resistor.
The TCM uses the transmission fluid temperature
information for the following calculations:
• Transaxle shift points
• If the transmission fluid temperatures are too high, slip lock-up of the TCC is prevented.

• No activation of TCC slip lock-up mode.
• No activation of TCC full lock-up mode.
• The MIL is activated.
• When the engine is restarted (ignition switched off for approx. 15 seconds), the transaxle is no
longer in limp home mode. There is no longer
a fault indication on the instrument cluster, and
the MIL is off. However, the fault remains stored
in the TCM. If the fault is still present, limp home
mode is reactivated.
• If the sensor fails, a temperature substitute value of 30 °C (86 °F) is initially assumed. After 15
minutes driving, the substitute value is raised
t o 111 ° C .

The TR sensor
E125819
The TR sensor and the TCM form one unit. This
unit is located at the top of the transmission casing,
on the gear linkage.
Function
The TR sensor has three separate functions:
• Transmit a signal to the TCM about the selectedtransmission range.
• To transmit the signal to switch on the reversing lamps to the GEM when the selector lever is in
the 'R' position.
• To transmit the start enable signal to the PCM when the selector lever is in the 'P' or 'N'
position.
The TR sensor contains a permanent magnet and
a linear Hall detector. It produces a signal voltage
between 0 and 5 V. This signal voltage
corresponds to the selector lever position currently
chosen.
Voltage values for the different gears:
• P approximately 0.65 V
• R approximately 1.64 V
• N approximately 2.12 V
• D approximately 2.49 V
Consequences of signal failure
If the TR sensor fails, the MIL is activated and the
vehicle can be driven in emergency mode 4. The
vehicle can no longer be started for safety reasons
after the ignition is switched off because the TCM
does not detect the current transmission range.
If a shift solenoid valve fails, the MIL is activated
and the vehicle can be driven in the appropriate
emergency mode.
