Purpose, Function
• The differential oil temperature sensor detects the rear differential oil temperature based on the resistance of the thermistor, and inputs it to the PCM.
Construction
• The differential oil temperature sensor is installed in the rear differential carrier.
Operation
• The differential oil temperature sensor uses a thermistor whose resistance changes according to changes in the rear differential oil temperature.
• The resistance grows smaller as the oil temperature rises and vice-versa, as shown.
