Key Tips:

- When reviewing recorded Transmission Fluid Temperature Data, pay attention to values. If they’re outside a specific range or seem unusual, you might need extra troubleshooting and repairs.

- Ideally, transmission fluid should stay between 160°F to 200°F (71°C to 93°C). Going beyond this range could lead to problems like hardened seals, slipping plates, and burnt-out seals and clutches.

- These issues could eventually result in transmission failure, making it crucial to monitor the temperature closely.

Summary: In conclusion, maintaining the correct transmission fluid temperature is vital for the performance and longevity of your vehicle’s transmission system. The Transmission Fluid Temperature function helps monitor and manage this critical aspect, ensuring that your transmission operates efficiently.
