Transmission Cooling

Transmission Cooling
The transmission fluid cooler is an oil-to-air (OTA) fluid cooler with a thermostatic bypass valve. The transmission fluid cooler is part of the A/C condenser assembly and cannot be serviced separately.
^ When the transmission fluid is cold and the thermostatic valve is closed, the transmission fluid does not circulate through the fluid cooler.
^ As the transmission fluid temperature increases, the thermostatic bypass valve opens and allows the transmission fluid to circulate through the fluid cooler.
