Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Differential Oil Temperature Sensor
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 AWD CM.
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.

Powertrain System [C66 M R]
Purpose, Function
The powertrain mechanism changes the gear combination by engaging or releasing
the clutch hub and gear, and changes the power transmission route. Because of
the change in the power transmission route, the drive force (speed, torque,
rotation direction) input from th ...
Oil Pump [Skyactiv G 2.0]
Outline
The oil pump has a mechanism for feedback control of oil pressure. As a result,
an oil pressure increase of more than the set pressure is suppressed and oil
pump drive resistance is reduced. In addition, because the set pressure can
be changed (oil pressure two-step control) ...
Rear Drive Shaft
Purpose, Function
Engine noise and vibration have been reduced due to adoption of a bell joint
on the wheel side of the constant velocity joint.
A low noise and vibration double offset joint with low slide resistance has
been adopted for the differential side of the constant v ...
