Circuit/System Description
The primary source of heat in the transmission is the drive motor generators. The drive motor generators are cooled by the transmission fluid. Hot
fluid exits the drive motor generators and flows to the transmission cooler supply line. The supply line connects to the cooler, which is in front of
the radiator. The transmission fluid cooler pipe assembly is equipped with an internal thermostat that opens at 80掳C (176掳F) for optimum
transmission operation and fuel economy. The transmission cooler pipe thermostat is part of the transmission fluid cooler pipe assembly, located
near the transmission and is not serviced separately. From the cooler, the fluid returns through the transmission fluid cooler pipe assembly and
enters the lubrication circuits. After lubricating the internal components, the fluid returns to the oil pan. The transmission fluid temperature sensor is
located in the control solenoid valve assembly and is not serviced separately.
