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

Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual / Drivetrain / Transmission/Transaxle / Automatic / 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.

Break-In Period
No special break-in is necessary, but a few precautions in the first 1,000 km (600 miles) may add to the performance, economy, and life of your Mazda. • Do not race the engine. • Do not maintain one constant speed, either slow or fast, for a long period of time. • Do not drive constantl ...

Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor
Purpose/Function Detects the oxygen concentration (all-range air/fuel ratio) in the exhaust gas as basic information for mainly determining the fuel injection amount. Detects the oxygen concentration (all-range air/fuel ratio) in the exhaust gas and inputs it to the PCM as an ox ...
