Transmission Cooler: Description and Operation
Transmission Cooling
The transmission fluid cooling system maintains the fluid temperature within specified limits. The cooling element is located in the engine cooling
radiator LH end tank.
Fluid is circulated, under pressure, by the transmission pump to the cooler.
General Layout
Overheating Protection
If the engine coolant or transmission fluid temperatures exceed their predefined limits, the transmission control module locks the torque converter
clutch. By reducing slip, this minimizes the amount of heat transferred to the engine cooling system from the transmission fluid.
