Converter Discharge/Cooler Feed temperatures are usually pretty high & not of much use to the driver.
Cooler Return flow is used to lube & cool the Frictions, Bearings, Bushings, & Geartrain before it's dumped into the pan. Leading to a 20 degree or more difference between the return cooler line & sump temps.
The Pan/Sump is the best place for a temp sender/sensor.
Interesting; thanks. My only thinking for wanting convertor outlet temp is to tell one max temp that the fluid sees, that way they can determine fluid degradation rate and/or what quality fluid they need in the first place, going by peak temperature that it sees.
